Rock Your Taco @AustinFoodWine Festival

Rock Your Taco was another fantastic event.  Our hometown hero, Tyson Cole, won again for the second year in a row.  And unfortunately, because their lines were so long, I never got a great photo of Tyson's taco.  Don't take that the wrong way.  Enjoy some photos of the fun!

The way that the statue stares at the roast is pretty darn funny.

Brian Malarkey will soon be opening Searsuckers in Austin, TX.

Vinny, Vinny, Vinny!!!

A chef at Animal's station prepared the tacos. 

Did you know that tacos sleep on a bed of basil?
