Nachos Time: Nachos in the News - Everythingtarianism & Food Trucks

June 15, 2013 Nachonomics

Nachos Time: Nachos in the News -  A convenient mouthful of  short form nacho news, topped with the cheese of truth, jalapeno slices of journalism, beans of education, and other toppings of various questionable informative analogies. We bring you nacho news one chip at a time.

Welcome to Nachos Time, for when nacho related things happen in the news, but nothing in depth to write a real article about. Here’s what’s been going on with nachos recently:


ON EVERYTHINGTARIANISM

If you’re interested in eating healthily your heart and dreams are probably crushed daily by not being able to eat nachos whenever you please. The idea of a “healthy” order of nachos has been bandied around for years, but we all know that the typical components are not very conducive for that. Fortunately Holly over at The Healthy Everythingtarian has a recipe more delicious than it is healthy, and I guess it’s probably healthy, given the name of the site. I made them. They were good. You should make them as well. Maybe not with a PBR.

Like Frank Booth says, "PABST BLUE RIBBON!"

Also, special thanks to Holly for the use of the epilepsy inducing “NACHOS TIME” picture above. In speech you are more likely to say “NACHO TIME” as it sounds better to the ears than “NACHOS TIME” which is the grammatically correct way to say it, the former being what you’d say when it’s time to visit your friend Ignacio, the latter being when it’s time to eat a delicious meal. Extra points to you Holly, it’s as though you write on a regular basis or something. Because you do. The Healthy Everythingtarian.


ON FIVE STAR NACHOS

If you’re out of the loop you may not have heard that food trucks are all the rage these days. If you’re in the loop chances are you may be familiar with some in your area, perhaps even a nacho one. If not, you should, and if you live in the Milwaukee area you should become familiar with Five Star Nachos. INTIMATELY familiar.

A classy nacho place in a truck!?!? What are the odds! Well, apparently pretty good in the Milwaukee area. However if you want to pull off a name like Five Star Nachos, you better be able to deliver that up to the customers. When the film Superbad came out there were worries that it would be far too easily dismissed by critics wanting to make the easy joke, “Superbad was SUPERBAD!”, and I’m concerned that FSN could suffer the same fate of, “Five Star Nachos was maybe Two Star Nachos tops!”. Not having been in the area lately I haven’t tried it personally and can’t say, but I can wholeheartedly give my support to any food truck that makes nachos their priority, and has a mystery order of chef’s daily nachos.

You can follow them on Twitter to learn of their upcoming locations, as well as Facebook, however their website does not appear to work, so don’t try that. The only thing that could make them better would be if they operated in my town. Or dressed up like The Tamale Spaceship guys. So if they're in your town, do check them out, especially the mystery Daily Fix.

If you're selling Mexican food and not dressed as a Luchador, you're just throwing money away. Also, read Sandwich Monday's review of The Tamale Spaceship. And every other review they've done.

Nachonomics: ('na-cho-'na-miks)

noun. The branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and distribution of nachos.

Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
$20.00

A copy of "The Field Guide to Nachos", "Nachos & You", and "Recipes from the Nachonomicon". This is literally and literately all the nacho knowledge you will ever require.

The Field Guide to Nachos, a pocket sized reference to the history, types, and background of the greatest of Mexican delicacies.

  • READ... The true story of how Ignacio Anaya created "The Nacho" in 1943.

  • LEARN... How nachos moved from Mexico and spread across America like shredded cheese melting across a pile of chips.

  • KNOW... the real difference between natural cheese versus pasteurized processed cheese product. It's terrifying.

  • DIFFERENTIATE... between kinds of popular nachos that are to be found in our modern restaurants.

Nachos & You, a pocket sized manual on, well, living your life the nacho way.

  • READ... The "true" story of how Gentleman Frank Liberto (Not to be confused with the upstanding Frank Liberto of Rico's or the Frank Liberto of Martin Luther King Jr. assassination infamy) created "The Nacho" in 1976. I say "true" because it is an obvious satire and parody.

  • LEARN... To pickle your own jalapenos for varying degrees of “fun” and “profit”, but more importantly bragging rights on being more artisinal than your friends.

  • KNOW... The science of creating nachos with circular chips as opposed to triangular chips and when to use each so as to not cause embarrassing cultural faux pas.

  • EXPERIENCE... The terror of “Nacho Fingers”, and the joy of curing yourself of them to avoid being ostracized by the community at large.

Recipes from the Nachonomicon, a pocket sized cookbook of all the finest types of nachos from throughout the ages, all now easily available at your fingertips.

  • READ... The History of the Nachonomicon and how it became the blueprint for all the nachos you know and love today!

  • LEARN... How to cook the finest examples of each member of the nacho family from "Artisanal" to "Single Serving." (There's no general type of nacho that begins with "Z" so that's as good as it gets alphabet wise, and I wouldn't want to trick you into thinking there was a type of called "ZBBQ Nachos" or something.)

  • KNOW... The joy that comes of making you, or a loved one, a delicious meal of nachos that will both satiate your hunger and allow you to know the true satisfaction of being able to provide the sustenance to keep a human being alive.

  • TASTE... Nachos, and lots of them, once you make them of course.

With these three books, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you'll be able to give a T.E.D. talk on every single aspect of nachos. Probably closer to three T.E.D. talks as a matter of fact! Do they even let you do that? I don't know, but with nacho knowledge like yours you will undoubtedly be the first!
