Guactacular Invitational 2009 | The Bell House

Oh Snap!

On May 5—you're familiar with the Spanish translation—budding NYC food blog Nachos NY hosted what was being called the 2009 Guactacular Invitational at The Bell House in Gowanus. That's Invitational, meaning the best of the best. No amateurs allowed. Judges from around the NYC food world, including our own restaurants editor Alexis Loinaz, voted in a blind taste test, crowing a champ. Participants included Pinche, Mercadito, La Barra and some ambitious home-spun entries with names like Morgan’s ‘No Bullshit’ Guac and The Clap (our favorites, by far!). So who won? In the restaurant category: Pinche. In the freelance chef category: Karol Lu. And the people’s champion is….Morgan Jarett. Congrats!
