Donning a tacky sweater is becoming more popular every year, and you most likely have one or know someone that likes to show it off.
Well, here’s an opportunity to be recognized at Culinary Dropout when it hosts its all-day Ugly Sweater Contest from Saturday, December 22 – Monday, December 24.
You’ll have a chance to enter the contest any time during their normal business hours, and also try their seasonal Ugly Sweater Punch. The cocktail —at $8 — is packed with Eagle Rare whiskey, Becharovka, pear liqueur, Luxardo cherry, and smashed orange.
If you believe you’ve got a sweater that’s so ugly the Grinch wouldn’t touch it with a 39-and-a-half foot pole, then you’ve got a shot at taking home a 23-year-old bottle of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve bourbon.
How to enter the Ugly Sweater Contest:
- Spend time at the restaurant between Saturday, December 22 – Monday, December 24
- Wear your most disastrous sweater
- Post a picture of yourself on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #averyuglyCDOxmas

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
