The Icarus Award

The Icarus Award http://www.guacbowl.com/GuacBowl.com/Photos/Pages/Icarus_Award.html The Icarus Award is for the guac that soars closest to the sun, only to fall the farthest. The guac that fails so miserably, it has to be recognized. Here are some Icarus winners, and some that should have won... Gueer, the first ever beer brewed with guacamole. Winner of The 2009 Icarus Award. http://www.guacbowl.com/GuacBowl.com/Photos/Pages/Icarus_Award.html#0 a1b0571b-a4d7-4c43-893d-13b5ee36632b http://www.guacbowl.com/GuacBowl.com/Photos/Pages/Icarus_Award_files/Media/IMG_4689.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.guacbowl.com/GuacBowl.com/Photos/Pages/Icarus_Award_files/Media/IMG_4689.jpg?derivative=micro
