As we enter the spookiest month of the nacho year, Octchober (which comes before the second scariest month of the year, 'Chovember) it's best to round up a few outstanding administrative news pieces. Administrative NACHO news related pieces, as if we were going to discuss any other kind on this site. Also the above Halloween related nachos can be found at Knott's Scary Farm during the horror season, if you're in the area of course. Did I ever tell you how my friends and I summoned the evil god Knott at summer camp on year and then had to cast it back into the abyss from whence it came? Now that is a scary story, but not one fit for a nacho page. Ask me in real life and I'll tell you, but it might turn your hair white, WITH TERROR.

Merchandise: Nachos & You
Now, a website is all well and good, but what happens when your love of nachos is greater than what can be contained on the internet? What happens when you can only feel complete by living your life the nacho way?
NACHOS & YOU
Enter 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.
While our previous book, The Field Guide to Nachos, was all about the history of nachos, Nachos & You is all about nachos today and in the future, as well as how you can live your life one chip at a time. Part self help book, part treatise on nacho theory, part cookbook, part Gentleman Nachos employee handbook, the only true way to describe it is that this is a book about not only nachos, but Nachos & You. GET THEM RIGHT HERE!
THE GREAT "I ENJOY NACHOS" NACHO MEETUP OF 2015!
I was recently driving through Philadelphia, where the sun is always sunny and the Mutter museums always are filled with medical oddities, when I felt a tingling in my nacho gland. A nerd might call it a disturbance in the Force, but really it was more like what Highlanders or Golden Girls in close proximity feel. Knowing that there can be only one nacho expert and with the promise of a Nacho Quickening at hand, I consulted the seventh sense nachos grow in the brain of anyone who consumes them and headed in the direction of the nachoness.

Blue Crab, Onions, Tomatoes, Creamy Cheese Sauce, Scallions
If you’re on vacation somewhere strange and looking for a place to eat, typically you’ll just stop at the first location you see that looks good. That said, restaurants have mere seconds as you drive by them to try to draw you in and therefor need to do anything they can to attract your attention. Gaudy paint job, unusual decor, or double entendre name with toeing the line sexual connotations are the typical ways to go, the latter being one of the most successful ways. Hooters, Salty Dick’s, Gonorrhea: The Restaurant, all places that could have caught my eye and sucked me in, but no. Today it way “I Got Your Crabs” that took my fancy, particularly because I felt bad for giving them crabs*.
