Jeff Boley (Paggi House)
Bill Norris (FINO)
Lara Nixon (Boxcar Bar)
Benjamin Craven (Perla's)
Garret Mikell (Some place that hasn't opened yet. What's it called?)

Alternate:
Nate Wales (La Condesa)

The contest takes place this Sunday, Dec 6 from 6pm-9pm at Palm Door, 401 Sabine in Downtown Austin. The event is open to the public. A suggested donation benefits Urban Roots.
