On a recent trip to Kansas City I took a break from a busy day of eating nonstop BBQ and riding a scooter around to visit a distillery, or rather distillery/restaurant/tasting room. Tom’s Town, named for the country’s most corrupt political boss Tom Pendergast, has tours of their distillery, and also a vintage art deco restaurant area where you have some drinks and small plates while you wait for your tour. I was just going to sit down with a Corpse Reviver No.2 while waiting, but then I saw the Totchos.

14 Pounds of Nachos

September 25, 2019 Nachonomics

My god, what have they done? First there were your typical restaurant nachos coming in at around a pound. Then there was Mount Nacheesmo coming in at 5 pounds. Then whatever the weight of the secret menu nachos as Disney World is. And now, at a whopping 14 pounds comes the “Big Papa Nachos” at Mex 1 Costal Cantina. They’ve pulled out a literal 14 pound dish and let it flop on the table, extending their arms and saying, “What are you going to do about this?”

Why, Park Ave, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, Earth, Milky Way! That's all the information they gave me I'm afraid, so you'll have to do a little but of sleuthing, but I trust that you'll be able to find me. Literally the picture above is what you want to look for, so get on it. Come see the original NACHONOMICON! Come get some of the few remaining NACHO SHIRTS! Come get a nacho related Christmas Card signed and written specifically for a loved one you know who might also love nachos! Could this be the last ever live Nachonomics show?

It's called Chipromancy and it is highly scientific, but you'll have to show up to learn all about it. See you there!

NachoProviCon 2019

September 5, 2019 Nachonomics

Usually it takes aeons for the stars to turn right and unspeakable horrors to stir, but now all it takes is two years and a lack of Tums before eating an order of nachos. Yes folks it is the biannual (in the “it occurs every two years” instead of the “it occurs twice a year” meaning) eldritch voyage to Providence, Rhode Island for NachoProviCon and all the nacho consumption and arcane occultism that goes with it. You may think that after all these years there is nary an establishment left in the Renaissance City with an uneaten order of nachos, but you would be wrong.

GUMMY BEARS AND NACHOS?!?!

August 25, 2019 Nachonomics

Like everywhere else online, the internet of nachos is no stranger to clickbait titles trying to draw you in. I’ve seen them all, from, “She ordered a plate of nachos. You’ll never believe what happened next!”, to, “When you read these 19 SHOCKING nacho facts, you’ll NEVER want to eat nachos AGAIN!”, to, “You think these are just normal nachos? Wait until you see what’s inside...” Usually I can resist their siren call, but when I see something like, “Readers Respond to a New Northwest Portland Restaurant That Sells Gummy Bear Nachos”, how can I not be expected to click that!
