Review: The Fix Burger Bar - Buffalo Shrimp Potato Chip Nachos

October 15, 2016 Derek Sotak

Creamy Red Hot Sauce, Diced Celery & Carrot, Crumbled Blue Cheese, Scallions

As I’m sure I have mentioned on a hundred previous occasions “Buffalo” is possibly the greatest flavor that can be combined with nachos, especially via the medium of chicken. This is not to say that other edibles can’t be “buffaloed” (as in “made buffalo flavored” not as in “to confuse”), such as the tasty buffalo buffalo I have made before in my kitchen, but rarely are combinations like this seen in restaurants out in the wild though. Every once and awhile though you will come across something out of the ordinary that has been given the buffalo treatment, such as buffalo shrimp, and when faced with unicorns like these you simply must give them a try. Enter The Fix Burger Bar.

Review: Brunch Cafe

September 25, 2016 Derek Sotak

Scrambled Eggs, Chicken, Tortilla Chips, Tomatoes, Green Onion, Pepperjack Cheese, Salsa Verde, and Sour Cream. Served with Brunch Potatoes and your choice of Toast or Pancakes.

In my youth there was a short period of time when the great Weird Al had his own Saturday morning TV show, and it was on this show that there was a fake commercial for some frozen food company whose schtick was they combined to strange foods together into a meal. Meatloaf and blueberries, tunafish and cookies, pancakes and rubber bands, etc. At this last suggestion the mother in the commercial would go, “Pancakes and rubber bands!?!? You can’t have pancakes and rubber bands for breakfast!?!?” In some alternate reality one of the food items mentioned would have been nachos and scrambled eggs, but fortunately you can stay in this reality to experience that, assuming you go to the Brunch Cafe.

Review: Lagunitas Brewery

September 15, 2016 Derek Sotak

Chihuahua Cheese, Guacamole, Jalapenos, Green Onions, Queso Fresco, Black Beans, Sour Cream, Salsa, Carnitas

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?

Review: Cantina

September 5, 2016 Derek Sotak

House made tortilla chips, chipotle cheese sauce, salsa verde, roasted chicken, sliced jalapeño, fresh pico-de-gallo

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.

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!
