On your mark, get set, Fiesta! With the Fourth of July weekend looming, the team at Launch showed off their creativity in the kitchen with a Tex-Mex Taste-Off contest, featuring recipes in three taste-tempting challenges.

Battling in the GuacOff® were Aspen Taylor, Alison “Kansas” Hamilton, and Richard Wezensky. After a close vote Alison took the Championship, with sour cream as her secret “not-in-Kansas-anymore” ingredient.

Next, with two entries in the Queso Contest, Ashley O’Beirne was crowned Queso Queen.

Finally, Ashley and Launch Principal, Michael Boone, went head-to-head in the Salsa Showdown where Michael took the title.

Kitchen creativity was also taken to a whole new level with KC Defranco’s 7-Layer-Dip (which resembled an American flag) and Megan Kelly’s Mexi-Cake (which resembled the Mexican flag).
