Gringo Bandito Taco Challenge: Featuring Kobayashi and Dexter Holland of the Offspring

On August 3, 2011, Dexter Holland's Gringo Bandito hot sauce hosted a taco throwdown challenge at Fred's Mexican Café in downtown Huntington Beach. Some of the world's greatest competitive eaters went stomach-to-stomach for a $5,000 grand prize—and headlining the lineup of gurgitators? Competitive-eating legend Takeru Kobayashi in his return to American food competitions. As you can imagine, Kobayashi took home the grand prize. All images by Christopher Victorio.
