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 Guac category. It’s not even close to complete, but honestly, I don’t have that great of a memory and nobody’s invented a camera that takes pictures inside guac (yet!).
