The first of its kind Lake Tahoe Taco Eat-Off Challenge at MontBleu Resort, Casino and Spa was won Saturday by Erik Irwin from Kings Beach.  He ate 14 tacos in 10 minutes to take home $1,000 in cash.  That's nearly three pounds of food! Check out some of these photos from the event, hosted at Cafe Del Sol.
