Best movie theater nacho cheese?

by
ricos nacho cheese cups

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

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.

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.

BBQ Nachos Grill Plate

by

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.

Taco Bell Extreme Cheese and Beef Quesadilla

by

taco-bell-logoWell 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.

Frenchos? I’ll take the Zero

by

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.

Taco Bell’s New Zesty Nachos

by

Taco Bell has recently released a new item on their menu: Zesty Nachos. These nachos consist of chips, “zesty sauce with a kick and nacho cheese sauce”, seasoned beef, cool sour cream, and tomatoes. According to our standards, this is pushing the limit of too much.

Last night my brother took them for a whirl. So how did they measure up?

David’s Nacho Cheese Sunflower Seeds

by

Sunflower_seedsWe’ve all spent time cracking open traditional salt-coated sunflower seeds, but have you tried nacho cheese sunflower seeds?

DAVID, the most well-known maker of sunflower seeds has a wide assortment of other flavors, including nacho cheese.  While I am not a fan of the Ranch and Bar-B-Q flavors, I applaud DAVID for taking the leap and serving a nacho cheese flavor as well.

The verdict?  I tried DAVID nacho cheese sunflower seeds and I like them.  One caveat…I have eaten a whole bag of them and I could see how the flavor could be over-powering if not complemented by a nice cold beverage.
