Zappos, that famous online shoe retailer, is holding the Hopped Taco Throwdown on June 23rd from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. on their campus for adults (21+) only. Or, you can get in at 7 p.m. with VIP admission. The prices are $65 for beer and taco tastings and $85 for VIP entry.
The location is The Backyard at Zappos and is really cool, with tables, grass, trees, and artwork to keep you relaxed and socializing. Twelve chefs will be competing by creating unique taco concoctions to be the ultimate winners of the fest. And the craft beer provided by the Motley Brews Experience is suited to the tacos created. This is only their second year of this festival, and we hope it will be as exciting as last year’s. Trying Drunken Rabbit tacos made by Herringbone Restaurant or Reuben tacos from Tacos & Beer was an experience not to be missed.
