Contests

It's the fiercest and most delicious of competitions as our vendors go head-to-head to claim the title of the Tri-State's Best Taco! Our judging panel has been carefully selected and includes a team of chef personalities, media, food writers, editors, and enthusiasts. Judges will make their rounds over the course of the day to gather and compare notes. 5 main categories with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places awarded.
