Here in San Diego, we have awesome avocados springing up left and right from February through September. Then, we rely on our neighbors to the south for imports that bring us a pretty much nonstop Haas supply all year-round.

Working in restaurants in the Pacific Northwest as a teenager, I can remember when avocados were a scarce delicacy. One Mexican spot I worked at sold guacamole tacos for some obscene amount like $14 a pop and offered up add-on “sides” of avocado for $5 a piece.

Bacon avocado egg rolls - perfect for a football game tailgate!

In 2002, the Haas Avocado Board formed to help better coordinate supply and demand, suddenly pushing avocados into the limelight. That's when we started seeing chains like BJs, Chili's and Cheesecake House all offering Avocado Egg Rolls as a staple. My own in-house avocado obsession promptly began and football fans everywhere were able to up their appetizer game, enhancing everything from nachos to wraps.
