Review: Mike's Sportsbook & Meat Bar

March 15, 2017 Derek Sotak

Dry Rub Smoked Pork, Fresh Fried Tortilla Chips, Shredded Chihuahua Cheese, Crème Fraîche, Pico De Gallo

Mike’s Donuts & Chicken of Kenosha Wisconsin recently made both Internet and nacho history by producing the first ever nacho donut. Not being a native Wisconsinite and finding myself in the area I could not pass up an opportunity to try one of these, and looking up the menu online (Hey all restaurants, if you have a website, put your damn menu on it) and seeing actual nachos on it, get those too. Dinner and dessert were to all have been taken care of, but it was not meant to be.

Review: Smokestack Urban Barbecue

March 5, 2017 Derek Sotak

Smoked Chicken, House-Made Chips, BBQ Sauce, Sour Cream, Cheese, Tomatoes, Scallions

The word “Barbecue” comes from the Spanish barbacoa, possibly derived from the barbacoa of the Arawak which was a wooden frame on posts. The word has come a long way since then to be our legendary and delicious “BBQ” of today, but much like the slow cooking of the meat of said delicacy, sometimes deliciousness takes time. Delicacies like BBQ served up at Smokestack Urban Barbecue.

Review: Two Brothers Roundhouse

February 25, 2017 Derek Sotak

Cheese, Black Beans, Pico de Gallo, Chimichurri, Sour Cream, Lettuce, Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, Grilled Chicken

So I was going to start this review by talking about Shakespeare and the history of theater in the round and circular buildings and all that jazz, because the first paragraph is where I go off on some weird tangent that then get looped around to whatever I’m talking about, but instead I’m just going to show you a picture of Two Brothers Roundhouse.

2017 Obligatory Valentine's Day Nachos

February 14, 2017 Nachonomics

Romance... romance is in the air once again, like the noisome odor of a 5 lb can of generic nacho cheese bubbling away in a pot on your stove top. Or most likely if you are cooking up 5 lbs of nacho cheese romance is NOT in the air because you are a goddamn monster and nobody could ever love you due to your disgusting choice in "cheese". Not being with someone you love might be a choice, but it could just be fate. That is love. What isn't a choice however is your selection of cheeses you choose to consume, and whichever one you might pick it certainly shouldn't be generic nacho cheese. Valentine's Day is about love yes, so maybe you should spend this day loving yourself and treating yourself to some delicious nachos with real cheese. You've earned it friend.

So here we are, Super Bowl Sunday, and you need to be making some nachos ASAP for your big ol' party tonight. Foolishly you did not pick up a copy of Recipes from the Nachonomicon, and no way is that going to get to you by tonight, so what are you going to do? Well if you have $1,296, want to eat 399,593 calories, or dip your chips in a plastic bin of dip, you can whip up a batch of the above nachos, or you can peruse the Epic Meal Time back catalogue below for something perhaps a little more reasonable to sup upon. It's up to you, but right here we have literally saved you dozens of clicks trying to compile all these! More time for Go Footballing!
