DES MOINES, Iowa - Jared Ness has emerged victorious in the much-anticipated "Iowa queso cruise" challenge, organized by Pancheros. The task? To visit all 26 Pancheros locations in Iowa within a span of just 24 hours. The reward for this daunting feat? Fifty-two free burritos, equivalent to one burrito per week for an entire year.

Ness, undeterred by the challenge, exclaimed, "I figured, screw it, I'm going to be home for two weeks. So I, like, packed all my stuff for two weeks, like super fast, and I got out the door."

Remarkably, it was Ness' coworker, Alex Gookin, who first devised the idea of the "Iowa queso cruise." Gookin turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, to determine if it was indeed possible to visit every Pancheros location in Iowa within a single day. After crunching the numbers, Gookin concluded that it could be accomplished, although it undoubtedly posed a significant challenge.

Impressed by Gookin's calculations, Pancheros took notice and promptly released official rules for the "Iowa queso cruise," thus giving birth to what would become an extraordinary road trip adventure.
