Nachos Time: Nachos in the News - A convenient mouthful of short form nacho news, topped with the cheese of truth, jalapeno slices of journalism, beans of education, and other toppings of various questionable informative analogies. We bring you nacho news one chip at a time.
Welcome to Nachos Time, for when nacho related things happen in the news, but nothing in depth to write a real article about. Here’s what’s been going on with nachos recently:
ON EVERYTHINGTARIANISM
If
you’re interested in eating healthily your heart and dreams are
probably crushed daily by not being able to eat nachos whenever you
please. The idea of a “healthy” order of nachos has been bandied around
for years, but we all know that the typical components are not very
conducive for that. Fortunately Holly over at The Healthy
Everythingtarian has a recipe more delicious than it is healthy, and I
guess it’s probably healthy, given the name of the site. I made them.
They were good. You should make them as well. Maybe not with a PBR.
Like Frank Booth says, "PABST BLUE RIBBON!"
Also, special thanks to Holly for the use of the epilepsy inducing “NACHOS TIME” picture above. In speech you are more likely to say “NACHO TIME” as it sounds better to the ears than “NACHOS TIME” which is the grammatically correct way to say it, the former being what you’d say when it’s time to visit your friend Ignacio, the latter being when it’s time to eat a delicious meal. Extra points to you Holly, it’s as though you write on a regular basis or something. Because you do. The Healthy Everythingtarian.
ON FIVE STAR NACHOS
If you’re out of the loop you may not have heard that food trucks are all the rage these days. If you’re in the loop chances are you may be familiar with some in your area, perhaps even a nacho one. If not, you should, and if you live in the Milwaukee area you should become familiar with Five Star Nachos. INTIMATELY familiar.
A classy nacho place in a truck!?!? What are the odds! Well, apparently pretty good in the Milwaukee area. However if you want to pull off a name like Five Star Nachos, you better be able to deliver that up to the customers. When the film Superbad came out there were worries that it would be far too easily dismissed by critics wanting to make the easy joke, “Superbad was SUPERBAD!”, and I’m concerned that FSN could suffer the same fate of, “Five Star Nachos was maybe Two Star Nachos tops!”. Not having been in the area lately I haven’t tried it personally and can’t say, but I can wholeheartedly give my support to any food truck that makes nachos their priority, and has a mystery order of chef’s daily nachos.
You
can follow them on Twitter to learn of their upcoming locations, as
well as Facebook, however their website does not appear to work, so
don’t try that. The only thing that could make them better would be if
they operated in my town. Or dressed up like The Tamale Spaceship guys. So if they're in your town, do check them out, especially the mystery Daily Fix.
If you're selling Mexican food and not dressed as a Luchador, you're just throwing money away. Also, read Sandwich Monday's review of The Tamale Spaceship. And every other review they've done.
