Review: Target's Market Pantry Nacho Kit

December 5, 2012 Nachonomics
Frozen_Nachos_650.bmp.scaled696.jpg

There was a time in the land of Big Box stores when Wal-Mart reigned supreme. Not yet mired in labor violation controversy, its smiling faced mascot strode the land, leaving a ruin of mom and pop stores in its wake. It seemed like the golden orb would rule unchallenged, but then from the south a contender arose. Armed with a red and white bullseye and more upscale goods, Target met the mighty Wal-Mart on the field of battle to end the great beast. From sunrise to sundown the behemoths exchanged blow upon bloody blow, ultimately grinding to a standstill and reaching an uneasy truce. For years this pact held, but now Target has fired a new volley with the introduction of the Market Pantry Nacho Kit.

Essay: Nacho Science - Melted Cheese, why you so Delicious?

November 25, 2012 Nachonomics

So this one time, I went to a restaurant and ordered some nachos, and then the power went out while they were cooking so the cheese wasn’t all the way melted. The waiter told me to that I didn’t have to eat them, but I said no no no, I wanted them. Let me tell you, getting a plate of nachos with a bunch of unmelted shredded cheese on top, not so tasty, but cheese, normally tasty. Wassup with that?

Think about your thumbs. Now think about how they’d look if they were giant spikes and you were a dinosaur. If both those things were true you’d be an Iguanodon, and extinct for about 125 million years. Fact: The Iguanodon was the second type of dinosaur formally named back in 1825 by english geologist Gideon Mantell. Fact: It was one of the dinosaurs that was the basis for Godzilla. Not a Fact: Iguanodons are related to today’s iguanas. Fact: The Winking Lizard Tavern location I visited in Ohio had a live iguana on display in the restaurant.

November 5, 2012 Nachonomics

To be fair, the video below is more of a Portable Chip and Dip Delivery System, and we all know that chips and dip are not nachos, but it’s a solid first draft towards portable nachos.

Essay: A Death on Mount Nacheesmo

October 21, 2012 Nachonomics
Mount_Nacheesmo_2_SMALL.png.scaled696.png

Today, for those out of the loop, is the International Day of the Nacho. Down in the Piedras Negras/Eagle’s Pass area the International Nacho Festival is going on where the son of the Ignacio Anaya, Ignacio Anaya Jr., judges the annual nacho competition with a fairness worthy of King Solomon. It’s Christmas and Mardi Gras and Carnival all combined for the nacho lover, but sadly not an event I have yet been able to attend. While I would have liked to write about my experience there on this magical day, I will instead tell the tale of eating the largest nachos you can buy in a restaurant; Mount Nacheesmo at Tio’s Mexican Cafe.
