Crisp Nacho Chips, Blackened Tuna, Cheese, Greens, Cabbage, Red Onion, Tomato, Scallions, Lime Sour Cream, Salsa

Have you ever wanted to eat at a Tiki Bar? Have you ever wanted to eat fish on your nachos? Have you ever wanted to drink a drink out of the trepanned skull of a monkey? Well, if you happen to be down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, now you can!

Essay: Nachos in the 70's

January 25, 2016 Nachonomics
Delicious, no? (SFGate)

Delicious, no? (SFGate)

We all remember the seventies right? The Franco-Prussian War, the Invention of the Phonograph, Lewis Carroll publishing Through the Looking-Glass, the extinction of the Atlas Bear. Wild times. Oh, wait, you meant the 1970’s? Well, I’m not exactly sure what happened then, um, probably some wars in the Middle East, that’s a safe bet. Some president did some things that some Americans liked and others didn’t? Oh, and nachos got a bad rap I’m sure they didn’t deserve, that’s a guarantee.

If any of you fancy pants happen to find yourself at Sundance this weekend and are sick of watching films, use your eyes to read a book about nachos, or rather TWO books about nachos at the Kickstarter Green Room. Which books? Why, The Field Guide to Nachos, and Nachos & You of course (BOTH AVAILABLE HERE)! Hollywood, I am available for both nachos books and nacho films, just let me know.

Review: Taco Bell Spicy Beefy Nacho Crunchwrap Slider

Crispy Fritos® , Seasoned Beef, Nacho Cheese Sauce, Spice-Loaded Creamy Chipotle Sauce

I lot of people have been coming up to me and asking, “Man, why you got such a hate on for Taco Bell?” How all these obvious plants from the Taco Bell corporation are now able to find me I know not, but when they do I used to be able to say, “Because all their nacho offerings are subpar and occasionally they just rename the food they previously have to confuse you into thinking they’ve made something new and delicious instead of actually making something new that could actually be delicious.” BUT NO LONGER!

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."

"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.

Nachonomics: ('na-cho-'na-miks)

noun. The branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and distribution of nachos.

Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
$20.00

A copy of "The Field Guide to Nachos", "Nachos & You", and "Recipes from the Nachonomicon". This is literally and literately all the nacho knowledge you will ever require.

The Field Guide to Nachos, a pocket sized reference to the history, types, and background of the greatest of Mexican delicacies.

  • READ... The true story of how Ignacio Anaya created "The Nacho" in 1943.

  • LEARN... How nachos moved from Mexico and spread across America like shredded cheese melting across a pile of chips.

  • KNOW... the real difference between natural cheese versus pasteurized processed cheese product. It's terrifying.

  • DIFFERENTIATE... between kinds of popular nachos that are to be found in our modern restaurants.

Nachos & You, a pocket sized manual on, well, living your life the nacho way.

  • READ... The "true" story of how Gentleman Frank Liberto (Not to be confused with the upstanding Frank Liberto of Rico's or the Frank Liberto of Martin Luther King Jr. assassination infamy) created "The Nacho" in 1976. I say "true" because it is an obvious satire and parody.

  • LEARN... To pickle your own jalapenos for varying degrees of “fun” and “profit”, but more importantly bragging rights on being more artisinal than your friends.

  • KNOW... The science of creating nachos with circular chips as opposed to triangular chips and when to use each so as to not cause embarrassing cultural faux pas.

  • EXPERIENCE... The terror of “Nacho Fingers”, and the joy of curing yourself of them to avoid being ostracized by the community at large.

Recipes from the Nachonomicon, a pocket sized cookbook of all the finest types of nachos from throughout the ages, all now easily available at your fingertips.

  • READ... The History of the Nachonomicon and how it became the blueprint for all the nachos you know and love today!

  • LEARN... How to cook the finest examples of each member of the nacho family from "Artisanal" to "Single Serving." (There's no general type of nacho that begins with "Z" so that's as good as it gets alphabet wise, and I wouldn't want to trick you into thinking there was a type of called "ZBBQ Nachos" or something.)

  • KNOW... The joy that comes of making you, or a loved one, a delicious meal of nachos that will both satiate your hunger and allow you to know the true satisfaction of being able to provide the sustenance to keep a human being alive.

  • TASTE... Nachos, and lots of them, once you make them of course.

With these three books, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you'll be able to give a T.E.D. talk on every single aspect of nachos. Probably closer to three T.E.D. talks as a matter of fact! Do they even let you do that? I don't know, but with nacho knowledge like yours you will undoubtedly be the first!
