Guinea Pig Wins Homemade Taco Competition

Guinea Pig Wins Homemade Taco Competition

An area guinea pig named Nacho has won a national homemade taco competition run by the Food Network.  His recipe for a bacon, lettuce and tomato taco won raves among judges and will be featured in an upcoming Food Network cookbook.

“Everyone loves bacon, so putting bacon in was almost like cheating. It’s like putting truffle oil on something,” explained judge and Food Network producer Wiley Kinnis. “So we probably actually judged Nacho’s entry harder than the others.”

But Kinnis said that Nacho really knocked it out of the park with his chipotle aioli.  

“Man the [expletive] aioli,” he said. “I still have dreams about it.”
