This Nacho Cheese Lover Needs Our Help!

FYI, as I read this article today, I must say it made me want to fly out to Florida to meet this guy, help him, and then eat some nachos....

A nacho business on wheels, called "Nacho Bizness", apparently has had mechanical problems with their nacho truck, preventing them from delivering much needed nachos to their customers.

Read the details here:

Like I said...I'm hungry enough to want to fly out to Florida and try this truck out.  Anyone eaten at this truck? 

 

Nacho Cheese Crunch Burrito from Del Taco

Recently unveiled by Del Taco, the Nacho "Cheese" Crunch Burrito, this new nacho cheese delight sounds intruiging at only 59-cents (according to the article).

There's not too many Del Taco's around in my area, but there is one close enough for me to eventually test this nacho burrito out myself.

In the meantime, if anyone has an opinion or review of this Del Taco nacho cheese buritto, let us know!!

 

 

Thieves Steal Truck...But they Left the Nacho Cheese...?

It seems crazy to me, with the economy so far down in the tank, that modern day thieves would steal a tractor trailer but leave the invaluable nacho cheese stowed inside.

That's exactly what happened in San Antonio.

I know, how could they take electronics but leave the nacho cheese?  Didn't they realize that they'd probably want all that cheese to enjoy while watching the brand new TV's they'd just stolen?

Dumb criminals.

 

Williams Sonoma - Nachos Grill Plate

I received this BBQ grill plate from WIlliams Sonoma as a gift late last year, and I finally got around to using it.  This grill plate works best on the BBQ and it can be used for anything you want to keep hot (ie fajitas, nachos, etc).

Here's the link to the grill plate on william-sonoma.com:

Long story short, the nachos turned out great.  The photo is coming soon.

Nacho Cheese as a Scare Tactic?

I'm a big fan of reading police logs in newspapers.  Why?  It's intriguing for some reason to know what the criminal world is up to.  Plus, I always end up finding some random act of criminal behavior that completely baffles me.

The city of Redding, California recently had a run in with nacho cheese in their police logs.

From the Redding News:

The words, "I'm sitting in the grass," were written backward in nacho cheese on the window of a residence in the 1600 block of Pleasant Street.

Since when has nacho cheese been a scare tactic?   After reading this police log, I'm left with a question.  What's more scary...a vandal writing on a window or a vandal writing on a window using NACHO CHEESE!

What is the #1 food item is that women crave while pregnant? 

You guessed it, nachos!  According to these 40 Interesting Facts, it's true, women crave nachos more than anything else.

But before all you pregnant women decide to raid your local 7-11 and pack your minivan full of pounds of chips and gallons of nacho cheese, you may want to read this warning. 

“Women may want to think twice about ordering those nachos the next time they’re out. A new study from Harvard University has found that eating a lot of corn tortillas during pregnancy could be linked to an increased risk of birth defects.”

Nacho Cheese Test Lab #2

Test suggestion by: Amu H. Email us a story.

If you're like us, you've spent countless nights laying awake thinking about if there are other applications nacho cheese is suitable for aside from consumption. It was that singular introspection that innitiated us to create a test lab specifically focused on answering these questions. Our first test explored the question: Can nacho cheese be used to hold a picture frame?

Up next... Some believe that eating a bit of cheddar at the end of a meal helps protect teeth by stimulating the production of cleansing saliva and help harden teeth because of the calcium. We've taken that theory to the next level: Can nacho cheese be used as a toothpaste and mouthwash?

Only a True Nacho Cheese Lover Would Go This Far

Story suggestion by: Mitch S.  Email us a story.

You may be surprised to learn that I'm not the owner of this license plate, nor are any of the other authors here at ILoveNachoCheese.com. 

In fact, no one in California has snatched up this gem of a plate!  When I visited the Department of Motor Vehicles site in California, I was shocked to find that to this date, no nacho lover out there has purchased this personalized license plate.

Now that you all know, will someone grab it up before I do?  Whether I get it or not, this is possibly the BEST personalized plate I've ever seen (if you've seen one cooler, let us know)

Should Fondue be Considered Nacho Cheese?

I'm going to pose a question that has come up during some casual conversations with friends of mine.

Can fondue be considered nacho cheese? 

I argue no and here's why...

To me, nacho cheese in its simplest form is not an elegant food that the "aristocrats" of society would proclaim to enjoy.  Fondue is the opposite.  Going further, the history of nachos dates back to 1943.  You can read the full story here, but to make a long story short, it wasn't until 1977 when nachos were brought to Arlington Stadium in Texas that the popularity of nacho cheese exploded.  Can you see people eating fondue at a ball-game?  Heck no!

My point is this...Fondue is not nacho cheese, it's melted "wannabe" nacho cheese at best.
