  • Best movie theater nacho cheese?

    Of course, “best” is a totally subjective word but when it comes to the ultimate ballpark nacho cheese sauce around, only ONE name comes to mind.  Ricos nacho cheese cups

    ricos nacho cheese cups

    According to the Ricos website, they even go so far to call out this delicious nacho cheese as “theater-style.” I couldn’t agree more.  It comes in a pack of four individual packaged containers, so basically it’s a four-use deal.  It’s good stuff, has a hint of spice to it, just like the movie theaters and ball parks.

    Check it out on Amazon, thankfully for the entire world it seems Amazon sells it.  I found it at the local grocery.  If you try it, come back and let us know what you think…Is it the best movie / ballpark nacho cheese out there?  According to us…Yes, yes it is.

  • 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.

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

    But are Nachos safe to eat when you’re pregnant?  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.”

  • 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.

  • Fact or Fiction: Is Nacho Cheese Bad for You?

    Kraft_2 The public perception is that all nacho cheese is bad for you.  Determined to uncover the truth in the matter, I felt inclined to investigate the nutritional data for three readily available nacho cheese products found at my local Safeway grocery store. 

    Specifically, I wanted to directly compare the sauce-type nacho cheese with grated cheese that comes from a bag (as seen in the picture).

    Here’s the three products I compared:

    • Frito Lay (sauce cheese in a jar)
    • Tostitos (sauce cheese in a jar)
    • Kraft Mexican Cheese (regular grated style cheese in a bag)

    The results of my nutritional analysis may surprise you…

  • Taco Bell Extreme Cheese and Beef Quesadilla

    Taco_bell_logo Well guess what?  Taco Bell has launched a new item on their menu that involves "extreme cheese."

    Having not tried this new quesadilla yet, I’m hesitant to officially endorse it, but I’m intrigued.

    If anyone out there has tried the Extreme Cheese and Beef Quesadilla from Taco Bell, let me know how you liked it.

    I’ll be going to Taco Bell soon to try this out for myself.  Once I’ve tasted it, I’ll be sure to post a review on the site asap.

  • Only a True Nacho Cheese Lover Would Go This Far

     

    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

    Update: This plate is now been taken and secured by one lucky Nacho fan.

  • Frenchos? I’ll take the Zero

    Frenchos If there’s any nacho out there that could be classified as doltish, this is it. Just as it was declared earlier that fondue is not nacho cheese, this little recipe is in no way, shape, or form nachos. Lest anyone think that by melting a dab o’ fromage on a tortilla chip automatically constitutes a nacho, they are sadly mistaken. Nachos should never have to be "plated" or "presented." Nachos are to be prepared by grabbing a handful of chips, thowing them into a bowl, and smothering it with molten hot nacho cheese. 

    This recipe is a disgrace and an insult to all nacho lovers. Now excuse me while I slice a cube of Reblochon and pair it elegantly with a bold glass of 2003 Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne.
