An easy gag to go to when you have a website named “Nachonomics” that reviews nachos is when you are talking about any other sort of consumable that you want to briefly mention is to throw in a, “But this isn’t X-onomics...” where X is the name of the consumable. Now that you know the secret, you’ll find it especially comical when I say today’s review is of the nachos at Lagunitas Brewing, but don’t expect me to really cover the beer because this is NACHOnomics, not BEERonomics! So what mysterious non-beer related nacho mysterious does this mysterious brewery hold?

You know me, when I’m not all about the nachos, I am all about the ponies. No, I’m no Bronie, I’m talking about the REAL ponies here: horses. And none of that fancy dancy Kentucky Derby, or Preakness Stakes, or the Belmont Stakes, no, I’m talking about Saratoga Springs, and Saratoga racing, which you may have heard about in a song from the 70’s. Yessir, I go and watch all those horses run around that track, running around… like horses… Ok, you’ve got me, I know nothing about horses or horse racing, other than what I just looked up on Wikipedia right now to write those previous sentences. Sure, I went to Saratoga Springs, but it wasn’t for horses, it was for nachos. Namely the nachos at Cantina.

FACT: Rainforests are forests characterized by the heavy amount of rainfall they receive annually, at least 66 inches. FACT: Rainforests can be either Tropical or Temperate. FACT: Tropical rainforests contain around two thirds of the planet’s biodiversity. FACT: There exists a chain of themed restaurants whose whole schtick is that they are designed to be a tropical rainforest full of animatronic forest beasts to astound and amaze. FACT: They sell a dish known as BEEF LAVA NACHOS, because if there is anything more synonymous with rainforests than “beef lava”, I don’t know what it might be.
