Review: Taco Bell Boss Nachos

January 5, 2016 Derek Sotak

"Tortilla chips prepared fresh daily piled high with hearty beans, a three-cheese blend, warm nacho cheese sauce, guacamole, pico de gallo, reduced-fat sour cream, and steak, steak and more steak."

Let’s get this out of the way right up front: shortly after consuming this order of Boss Nachos at Taco Bell I had a spurting case of diarrhea. Ha ha ha, we get it, Taco Bell is low hanging fruit, but that poop was a fact. Now, this could just be a coincidence, I did get really sick not long afterwards with the flu, so it could have been that. I also hadn’t eaten at TB in months and my stomach was possibly not used to eating such food so it could have been like how my stomach was all jacked up that time I went to Costa Rica from eating food I wasn’t used to and needed to take the special pills the doctor prescribed me before I left to solidify things. The moral is that liquid was coming out of my butt, but that could be unrelated to eating there, or it might not be. You have been warned.

Review: El Camion - Rule Chiptania, Part 3.

December 5, 2015 Derek Sotak

There comes a time in every man’s journey to a foreign country with the purpose of eating nachos when he realizes that he is going to eat his last nacho. It’s a very important time in a human’s life, and makes one wonder what started the grand journey of worldwide nacho consumption; where it would end, and where it all began. For me, it was with a single tweet.
