Qdoba is a Mexicanish restaurant that has been around for awhile and in the past, when I was a young lad, I had been there a time or two and was surprised that they offered no nachos. NO NACHOS!?!? That’s right, there are never enough interrobangs to express the questions and exclamations behind a Mexican place that doesn’t have nachos. I figured that at a restaurant where they don’t even put a “U” after the “Q” in their name perhaps not having nachos isn’t that strange. I never returned. Until last week. And they now have nachos.

Obligatory Best of 2013 Post

December 31, 2013 Nachonomics

In feeling that we would be remiss in not posting a “Best Nachonomics of 2013”, we’re jumping on that bandwagon. Here you go!

REVIEWS

BEST: Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade Nachos

The visit, subsequent overeating, and interview with the good people at Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade is possibly the finest on the site. Plus they had some of the craziest nachos we’ve ever seen.

RUNNER UP: Bigfoot Food and Spirits

My first visit to the Seattle/Tacoma airport I didn’t have time to visit and I thought I might never get a chance to have nachos with Bigfoot meat. On my second I almost missed my flight, but the nachos were so good it was worth it. Sadly they did not offer Bigfoot meat as a topping.

VIDEO

BEST: Orbit's Nacho-Human Hybrid

One of the most disgusting things we’ve ever seen on screen, and we’ve seen Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom.

RUNNER UP: Nachos and Baseball

Mad skills yo.

ESSAY

BEST: Nacho Science - Nachos in Space

Nachos, they’re not just for Earth anymore, but you probably wouldn’t want to eat them in space.

RUNNER UP: United States of Nachos: The Guy Fieriing of Food Reality Television

Nobody wants to see a TV chef that's all douched up, and that's one of the reason you probably don’t want to see a nacho show.

OTHER

BEST: NachoProviCon: Day One

There is no better combo than H.P. Lovecraft and nachos, however the nacho tour of Providence, Rhode Island was sadly as lacking as the author was racist.

RUNNER UP: T'was The Nacho Before Christmas

Guaranteed to be the only Christmas story you read this year where Krampus gets punched in the junk.

Well that’s 2013 in a nutshell. If you think that’s some good nacho news, just wait for 2014, it’ll be full of double plus good nacho news! Have an excellent New Years Eve and watchout for the New Year’s Baby. Legend has it that if you’re alone after dark it will sneak into your place and suck a year of your life away to remain forever young.

Nach-ho-ho-ho!
