  • Thieves Steal Truck…But they Left the Nacho Cheese…?

    Nacho-cheese-theft 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.

    Read the full news story here: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2011/07/31/Semis-carrying-turkey-and-cheese-stolen/UPI-20551312153196/?spt=hs&or=on

    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).

    Nacho BBQ Grill Plate2026 UPDATE:  Product no longer sold at Williams Sonoma.  Here is a similar version available at Amazon.  This version is actually better cause it’s not perfectly flat. (less likely to spill)

    Long story short, the nachos turned out great.  Plus this is a multi purpose BBQ tool, you can cook a of different foods.

    [UPDATED APRIL 2026]

    The grill plate is no longer available at Williams Sonoma.  Here’s the best replacement that is similar in functionality.

  • Nacho Cheese as a Scare Tactic?

    NachowatchI’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!

    “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.

    TestlabIf 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?

  • Should Fondue be Considered Nacho Cheese?

    FondueI’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.

    Post your comments, do you agree with me or disagree?

  • Beavis and Butthead Were Nacho Lovers

    Nachos_rule

    If you were at least 14 years old between the years 1993 and 1997 then you definitely remember Beavis and Butthead.  These two high school students loved to watch music videos, hang out at the mall, try to "score with chicks", and most importantly eat nachos.

    Nachos were actually eaten by Beavis and Butthead so much that a t-shirt was made and sold to fans all over.  But wait…

    You can actually still purchase this t-shirt from Amazon.  Unfortunately they only have XX-Large… but then again if we think of who is actually going to buy this shirt, it makes sense.
