5th Annual
DELLS TACO FEST

Every team will compete in 3 different taco challenges.  Chicken, Pork & Steak.  You DO NOT have to be a restaurant to compete.  We are anticipating 10 teams.

Each team must make 3 sets of tacos, made from chicken, pork & steak.  Teams may garnish tacos with whatever they choose,  however teams must deliver the same taco to each participant to the best of their ability.  (What goes on a chicken taco must go on all chicken tacos; What goes on a pork taco must go on all pork tacos). 

Teams are allowed to prep and cook their meats at any time,  however tacos though must be ready for serving at the specific times on the schedule.  Teams are allowed to have a garnish or salsa station for participants to use. 

Tortillas can be homemade, store bought, corn, wheat or flour but tortilla must be no more than 6 inches in diameter.  (The taco should be more of a taste considering each spectator participant’s booklet will contain 10 tacos). Teams may use any gas or charcoal, or any warming device they choose.

Entrance Fee is $60 per Team.

Each team will receive a 14’ x 14’ tent with a 6 ft table, individualized team sign & 2 chairs along with electricity.  Each team will also receive a team badge with a Delton Oaks lanyard.

Each registered guest, spectator or team participant will receive a $20 booklet containing 10 free taco coupons and 3 tasters choice tickets that will be used to vote for their favorite chicken, pork & steak taco.  Each ticket that that a team receives gets 1 point.  The team with the most points for each competition will win.  In the event of a tie overall points will be used as a tie breaker. Grand Champion winners will be chosen by most overall votes.  In the event of a tie winner of specific category will receive tie breaker.
