Guac Off! -- Nathan Myers is a guacamole master. His recipes will have guac fans forgoing the chips and digging in with a spoon. With 30 recipes for classic, exotic, and extreme guacamoles, there is a guac to suit every occasion, from the green chile-enhanced Brooktown Classic to the ultra-spicy Scarface Guac. Following the tenets of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Myers sets the rules for holding a guac-off—the ultimate contest to see who reigns supreme in the world of guacamole—culminating in the victor being bestowed with a bottle of tequila. Guac Off! includes prize-winning recipes from past showdowns, a history of avocados, plus a healthy dose of fun.

Nathan Myers is a writer and native of Fallbrook, California, the avocado capital of the world. He now lives in Bali where they make guacamole with ice and coffee in a blender.
