(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Four out of five food trucks selected to take part in the 2025 Governor’s Plate competition at the Colorado State Fair are from Pueblo.
According to the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA), this year, chefs have been asked to feature Colorado-grown sweet corn or honey produced in the Centennial State. While Governor Jared Polis won’t be able to attend this year’s competition, a guest judge and popular chef from Colorado Springs will take his seat.
“While I would have loved to judge this year’s competition, my fifth in a row, the competition is in good hands thanks to Chef Brother Luck, who will be stepping in as guest judge for this year’s event,” said Gov. Polis. “Brother Luck has helped to shape Colorado’s food scene and champion Colorado cuisine on the national and international stage.”
