Panchero's Brings Back Iowa State, Iowa Burrito Contest

The Iowa-Iowa State game isn't until Sept. 10, but the chain of restaurants plans to cash in on the Hawkeye-Cyclone rivalry starting Tuesday.

Panchero's in both cities --- 1310 S. Duff Ave. No. 103 in Ames and 32 S. Clinton St. in Iowa City --- will host a $1 Burrito Night Battle from 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday. The chain that sells the most $1 burritos in the time frame wins.

The Hawkeyes won last year's contest with 1,344 burritos sold. Iowa State ate just 988.

In Ames, KKDM will broadcast live from the event and Panchero’s plans to give T-shirts to the first 475 customers.
