Grand Guacamole Winner Isaac Hendrickson with judges Jay McKenzie, Michelle Lahey and Jen Che.

The Painted Burro in Davis Square hosted its second annual “Guac Off” Sunday, April 13. The competition pit 12 local guac experts’ recipes against one another for the ultimate bragging rights. Judges included: Jay McKenizie, a Somerville firefighter and winner of The Painted Burro’s “Burro Churro Challenge”; Somerville Scout writer Michelle Lahey; and Jen Che of the popular local food blog Tiny Urban Kitchen. The judges put each guacamole recipe to the test while guests sampled and voted for their favorites.

After an hour of arduous eating, Somerville local Issac Hendrickson was named the Grand Guacamole Winner, walking away with a $150 The Painted Burro gift card and the honor of having his recipe, “Granada guacamole with pomegranate seeds,” featured on the restaurant’s menu.
