Every year, for the last 10 years, Texans and travelers with taste-buds for fiery foods indulge themselves at ZestFest, one of the largest foodie events in the country . This year, Bugtussle Burn Sassy Texasalsa will be an exhibitor and we are SO “fired up”!
Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is where it’s all happening for ZestFest’s tenth year, and we promise you DON’T wanna miss THIS! This fiery food festival & competition promises to be their hottest one yet, and you’ll get to enjoy it ALL in one sizzling weekend January 27, 28 & 29! Taste, shop and enjoy meeting all the people behind the products, daring pepper-head eating contests, celebrity chef demos and MORE are all included.
From “mom & pop” brands like Bugtussle Burn to industry leaders, all the food exhibitors are set up to show off their product and their personalities with free tastings. Come hungry and have your bottle of water in hand. Mr. & Mrs. Bug will be there (of course!) and our spot #336 will be easy to find. Just look for a less than ordinary “booth” – better said, just look for our version of the Bugtussle General Store in its hey-day! Have a taste if you haven’t yet (what?!), shop salsa, fun gear, and just say “howdy”! We can’t wait to give everyone a “true Bugtussle Burn experience” at ZestFest!
ZestFest offers a fun and exciting range of entertainment throughout the 3-day event, too! On the main stage you’ll see celebrity cooking demos, get to ask questions if you want, and soak up all the great tips from regionally renowned chefs including Jon Bonnell, Lou Lambert, Eddie Deen, Uno and Liz Immanivong, and Executive Chef Eduardo Alvarez.
