Friday Night Nacho Remix




Cuban Nachos?

The Place:
Last Friday night, at 90 Main (The Sandbar) in New Hope, PA, my librarian co-worker, Matt, unknowingly subjected himself to my nacho blogging by ordering the Cuban Nachos as an accompaniment to cocktails and dancing. Nothing like breaking it down after housing some nachos!

The Recipe:
Garbanzo beans and chorizo provide the Cuban influence to this nacho concoction. Heaping sour cream and guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and chips stuck in a mire of the classic vinyl-esque nacho cheese complete this dish.

The Review:
After informing Matt of the Na'cho blog, he agreed to not only provide a rating of his plate of nachos, but also permit pictures. I am very thankful for his willingness to provide visual documentation of this most recent nacho experience. His rating: a mouth full of chips and chesse and both hands waving in the air - a perfect 10.

The Perfect Blend


Hello world.

This is my fourth consecutive attempt at blogging. My past blogs focused either on Library Science or living as a struggling librarian in Philadelphia. This time, I turn fingers to keyboard to write about what comes naturally - a love for discovering and creating nachos. My boyfriend and I have a mutually obsessive interest in this fine delicacy. In my years of unfilled blogdom, I had one faithful follower; my boyfriend. So to honor him, and to best represent our mutual affection for nachos, he will co-author this blog.

Just think about the shear variety of the junk food staple, the nacho. I love them all. From the ball park/movie theater super salty chips topped with an unidentified cheese-like sauce to the bean, meat, guac, and veggie topped variety. All a farce on traditional Mexican cooking, but delicious none the less!

How long can two people document a discovery of the perfect blend of corn chips and cheese? I guess we will find out! Look for this blog to provide Philadelphia area restaurant reviews, recipes, and other facts about nachos :)
