Essay: Nacho Regrets - Nachos As Big As Your Ass

June 16, 2012 Nachonomics

“By The Ass” is the official measurement of the nacho. In my dreams...

As some of you may know, this past week featured an astronomical event that won’t happen again for another 105 years, The Transition of Venus. Now, where I happened to be this occurred during the middle of a rainstorm, so not only did I not get to see it, but I won’t live long enough to see it again. Even if a magical elixir was invented that could extend life to the next event in 2117, I live too fast and hard to survive to that ripe old age. Truthfully if I’m not dead from burning the candle on both ends in the next five years, I’d be surprised. While I will live without seeing a little dot in the sky go across the sun, the event did make me think back to all the other things in my life that I’ve missed or won’t get a second chance to experience again. And by other things I of course mean other nacho related things.

When you go to some sort of sports game, you've got to sample the stadium nachos. Say what you will about Frank Liberto, but he did get nachos introduced to stadiums and thusly mainstream America. I suppose you could do this in order to bring your favorite nachos into the game, but I have a nacho website and I would say that's excessive. Do what you want though.

Nacho Chips, Nacho Cheese, Beef, Sour Cream, Flour Tortilla.

I know what you’re thinking here. You expect a bunch of low hanging fruit Taco Bell jokes, cheap, E. Coli, diarrhea low hanging jokes. Fortunately we are so far above that here that we’re not going to even mention any (Until Part 2 of our Epic Taco Bell review) because this isn’t that kind of review. As the world’s dominant Mexican fast food chain I knew I would need at least two, or maybe more, visits to taste their offerings

Nachos are great enough just by themselves, but combine them with bowling, plus the Mythbusters and Nerdist industries, well you have a combination that's better than any of us deserve.

Pepper Jack Cheese, Bison Chili, Fresh Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Scallions, Sour Cream, Nacho Cheese.

The Bison (Bison bison), commonly known as the American Buffalo, is a majestic beast that has roamed the Great Plains of Earth for tens of thousands of years. Great creatures of legend and mystery, these terrestrial ungulates have stampeded into the hearts and minds of humans the world over. So when I heard of a place where they could also stampede into my stomach (via my mouth and not via smashing its horned head through my flesh thankfully) I would have been a fool to pass that up.
