The following individuals have been chosen to participate in the Costa Vida vs. Costa Tina Sweet Pork Burrito Taste-off!

The responsibility of this panel will be to assess the authenticity of the sweet pork, to compare flavors, and to blindly choose their burrito of choice. They were chosen based on entries submitted to the Sweet Pork Burrito (tasters needed) post. Each member of the tasters panel will be blindfolded, laughed at for being blindfolded, and given a variety of items to taste. Their responses will be recorded, their pictures will be taken, and both will be posted here for your assessment (and viewing enjoyment).

Without further adieu. . .

Tasters Panel Members:
Listed alphabetically.

Andrew
Because he likes our Wii. And that makes him our friend.

Dan
Because he lives somewhat near Costa Vida.

Danika
Because she doesn’t eat much. And because Dave likes leftovers.

Emily
Because she is the self-proclaimed queen of tasting contests. Though she did have 63 words in her entry. . .

Jared
He was late. But he is here because he agreed to be featured on this blog with his crepe recipe. And because he is going to make some for us.

Joel
Because he is an eater. And because Raelynn knows he looks good in a blindfold.

Michelle
Because she has experience and good taste.

Nick
Made it to the panel because of the manly voice. And because he loves food.

Sandra
Her name is not Fred. And its a good thing.

Shauntae
Because Pork is the other white meat. And because she has her own blindfold – which by the way, she should bring.

Alternates:
To fill in the the event that one of the above tasters is found to be unavailable.

Kevin
Chosen as an alternate because he doesn’t eat black beans. Besides, “Mmm….food” was officially the shortest entry.

Luke
Chosen as an alternate because I’m not sure what Bridget’s cuteness has to do with sweet pork.

Jacob
Chosen as an alternate because I’m not sure what his cuteness has to do with sweet pork. And, would he wear a blindfold?

And there it is friends. Our panel of highly qualified and willing tasters. Taste-off to commence on Friday, March 21st at 6:00 p.m.
