Three hints exist in this picture as to what our new nacho project is. Here's a few more:
Still mysterious? You know it. Keep it here for random trickles of information over the next years, and next month for a very mostly-Portland-but-overall-Oregon-specific series of nachos!
Tuna, Cheese, Tobiko, Spicy Mayo, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Avocado, Olives, Grilled Chips
When you go to the spookiest town in the United States (Salem, Massachusetts, with Spooky Town being a close second with its Creepy Crawlies Pet Sitting and New Skeleton Gazebo) to attend a live reading of horror stories you don’t expect nachos to just fall into your lap. Especially when the reading is at a sushi restaurant, historically a type of restaurant not well known for nachos.

The secret is out folks, I've got a little piece on nachos in the upcoming Fall issue of Culture magazine. Culture magazine is of course "The Word on Cheese", and a clever cheese pun, and you know how much we here at Nachonomics like puns! For all you real curd nerds out there, if you aren't subscribing already you should get on it!
Nachonomics will also be back at Worcester's StART on the Street art festival this September 17th (Rain Date September 24th), so feel free to come press the flesh and chips and cheese and whatever else you would like. Come get some books/stickers/shirts/postcards! Come meet the John Hodgman of nachos! Come get your picture taken with Nachie the Nacho! We're gaurenteed to be the only nacho booth not serving actual nachos you will encounter this year!

I mean, yes, once a year, because that’s how often it is, but what I’m talking about here is how many times HAVE you gone out for Cinco de Mayo in your life? Perhaps you are some sort of young person and have the stamina to go every year and make a fool of yourself, or maybe you are like me and just don’t have the patience to wait in line forever so you went out this year because you hadn’t been out on actual Cinco de Mayo in who knows how many years and figured, hey, you write for a nacho website, you ought to get on the ball here right? Right indeed, so I decided to hike up my pants, empty my nachos stomach, and head out to Plaza Azteca on the evening of May 5th.
