Chips, Cheddar Cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, Diced Tomatoes, Scallions, Jalapeños, Pulled Pork, Tomato Salsa, Sour Cream.

I live in America, where we’ve decided as a country that bigger is better, no phallic humor intended (on my part at least, I can’t speak for the rest of the country). There are plenty of fast food joints or gas stations out there where you can buy a gallon bucket of soda, and also numerous restaurants featuring meals so large that if you can eat the whole thing you’ll get your picture on the wall and your name will go down in history. Is it any wonder based off of this that the United States is the most obese country in the world? Now, if the size of the food was related to the deliciousness of the food, that would be one thing, but this is not the case in many places, and just because it’s the biggest around doesn’t mean it’s the tastiest. Guess what the moral of this review is going to be?

Review: Val's Restaurant

Tortilla Chips, Cheese, Chicken, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Jalapenos, Black Olives.

Are you familiar with the Peruvian style of music known as Chicha? In a nutshell, the native Peruvians had a form of music known as Huayno, which can be traced back to the Incan Empire, and for all these years they were all jamming out to that, up until the December 31st, 1959 that is. When “The Swinging Sixties” spread across the globe the surf and psychedelic rock of the United States made it’s way south to Peru, and blew their Andes loving minds. Now the indigenous people were used to Zamfiresque pan pipes and and other musical instruments that went back thousands of years and didn’t have easy access to electric guitars and basses, but that didn’t stop them from making the best with what they could get, and thus Chicha was born. The nachos at Val’s Restaurant are kind of like that.

The Field Guide to Nachos: We Did It!

June 3, 2014 Nachonomics

Well folks, you've really done it now. There was an amount of money we needed to bring The Field Guide to Nachos from brain to page, and we raised 6.5 times that, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I can't possibly thank you enough, but I can try to by sending you all some sweet nacho loot in a few months.

Review: The Fix Burger Bar

May 25, 2014 Derek Sotak

House Fried Potato Chips, Short Rib, Cheddar, Fresh Jalapeño, Corn, Onion, Whiskey BBQ, Chili Sour Cream

Do you remember the halcyon days of the 1920’s when handlebar moustaches and suspenders were worn, cherry phosphates drunk, pork belly eaten, and The Charleston danced? Well unless you are currently in your 90’s probably not, or you’re a liar. If only there was a place to get such things as olde tymey burgers and elixirs these days! Boom, there is, The Fix Burger Bar, and not only do they have burgers, but also nachos, which is strange because nachos didn’t even exist until ‘43...

Nachos Time: GODZILLA Nacho Special

May 16, 2014 Dex Gormenghast

This is why Malaysia is winning in the Burger King Game.

Because a fast food chain wouldn't be a fast food chain without cashing in with products based on whatever popular franchise is currently in movie theaters, Malaysian Burger King's, or maybe Burger King Malaysia, are introducing a line of Godzilla foods. For some reason in Malaysia Godzilla is associated with Nachos, possibly because they are very confused with the geographic locations of both Japan and Mexico?
