I’ve had a few conversations in the past week that went like this: “Hey, Adam! I’m excited for Guac Bowl!” “Me too, unnamed friend. How’s your entry coming?” “Oh, I’m too busy to make something this year, so I think I’m just going to show up and eat guac.” Now, of course you’re welcome to […]
Today, we are totally psyched and honored to be Entertainment Weekly’s Site of the Day on their PopWatch blog! Because of all the new traffic, I thought it would be a good idea to let you know exactly what Guac Bowl is: It’s a guacamole contest. There you go! You can click on the avocado […]
Jeez, it seems you just can’t tell your well-connected friends in the media about Guac Bowl without them writing glowing articles about it. Today we have two stories mentioning our party: First, this great article on the NBC-Los Angeles website, by Tim’s friend Alysia. I love her description of how the event has grown: “every […]
Brandon was nice enough to write up some Guac Facts for us. Enjoy. —- Cutting your avocado into small cubes before smashing will help keep the guacamole from turning brown. In 2006, Los Angeles resident Brenda Lifsey sued Kraft foods for fraud, claiming their avocado dip did not qualify as guacamole. The word “avocado” come […]
Brandon pointed me to this pretty funny song about guacamole made by some dudes on the Food Network. They clearly have the same enthusiasm towards guac as we do. Plus, fake mustaches and a free recipe in lyric form!
Every year, the liberal Guac Bowl elite hound me with the same questions: why aren’t there more categories?

Isn’t it an affront to hard-working guacs everywhere […]
I contacted the California Avocado Commission to alert them to Guac Bowl, because, naturally, it’s the finest avocado-based party in the land and they should know about it. Their marketing assistant, Zachary Benedict (whose name would better fit the California Egg Commission) just sent me the following response: Hi Adam, Thank you for contacting us […]
I received the following email today from an “anonymous source,” asking to be posted on the blog. It’s a response to my post “In Defense of Tradition,” two entries down. I leave it to you, the discerning reader, to draw your own conclusions: —- Hi Adam, longtime fan of the site. As you know, Rob […]
For all you newcomers and past participants with hilarious sitcom-style amnesia, here’s a list of many of the presentation names that have been entered into Guac Bowl over the years. Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s everything from the last four years, and a few that I could remember before that. Basically, enough […]
Every year, people ask me, “Adam, this is only my first/second/sixth Guac Bowl, and I don’t want to repeat something that’s already been tried. What’s already been done?” Well, today and tomorrow’s posts will help you out. Here’s a list of some of the “special ingredients” that have been used for entries into the Alternative […]
