  • Nothing says “Nachos” like “Raw Fish?”

    TilapiaI love nachos. And given that I’m Japanese, it’s no surprise that I also love sushi. But to find out that the winning recipe at this year’s Inland Northwest Healthy Nacho Recipe Contest was Ceviche Nachos, induced a bit of skeptisism. Granted, we’ve tried nacho cheese on gourment sausages, we’ve even tried nacho cheese on ice cream, but raw fish? No, really. Fish…that’s raw…with nacho cheese. That’s the winning recipe?

    Yup.

    Ann Yanecek’s Ceviche Nachos won the top spot and will be featured on the Downriver Grill menu through Cinco de Mayo. Yanececk said her inspiration came from a fish taco recipe that husband loves.

    If anyone lives in the Spokane, Washington area and cares to order up a plate, please take a picture and send us a review. We’d love to post it up on our site!

  • Fight Over Nachos: Reloaded

    GirlsumoWe recently wrote a post about a fight that broke out between two girls at Revere High School over nachos. While police never elaborated on the circumstances, only to disclose that they were both arrested for assault and battery, there have been a few stories written about the scuffle.

    One in particular, written by Susie of “Everyone loves a Boston girl,” was particularly interesting since it was from the female perspective. Susie’s post titled, “I too would fight for nachos,” suggests:

    “We should create a list of rules from now on? Everyone must agree on the toppings on nachos before entering the restaurant. Always order the larger size. Only take one spoonful of salsa, one spoonful of guacamole, and one spoonful of sour cream. Don’t eat all of the nachos that are smothered and cheese and leave the bare ones.”

    Brilliant, Susie. We couldn’t agree with you more. If you think about it, your instruction should really be nacho common sense… but then again, so should mindful one-for-one car merging during traffic. But it only takes one halfwit to stir up roadrage, or in this case, a nacho brawl.

  • Justin.tv Loves Nachos

    JustintvYesterday, thanks to Hooman of Hooman TV fame, we were invited back to the 97.3FM Studio in San Francisco to host another nacho party for the Sarah and No Name Morning Show. While we didn’t get much air time during the visit, it was nice to see the crew again, hang out, eat nachos, and drink beers…at 9 in the morning.

    A nice bonus this time, was we were able to meet Justin.tv. Justin lives in San Francisco and has recently started documenting his life by wearing a camera on his head 24/7. Even in the bathroom. Even on a date. But that’s not why we like him or find him interesting. We like Justin because he loves nachos!

  • Phone Hack Using Nacho Cheese

    Story suggestion by: Greg L. Email us a story.

    CellhackA reader recently sent in a link to a video that demonstrates nacho cheese being used to hack a cell phone. The video offers step-by-step instructions on how to modify any cell phone to receive police transmissions.

    We haven’t tested the procedure ourselves in our Nacho Cheese Test Lab, but we have a sneaking suspision that it would probably fail. Watch the video and see for yourself.

  • Inside the Mind of a Nacho Cheese Hero

    DaneEarlier this month, Dane Boedigheimer of Gagfilms.com sent us a custom commercial titled “The Nacho Newsreel” that he produced specifically for us. But before The Nacho Newsreel, he created “Nacho Blasters,” a hilarious breakfast cereal commerciall spoof.

    We wanted to find out more about this nacho cheese champion and find out what makes him tick and the inspiration behind these notable nacho cheese flicks.

To prepare everyone to get into the mood, we’re posting a link to a funky little Cinco-de-Mayo tune called “That’s Nacho Cheese.” So cut a wedge of lime, pour a shot of Jose Cuervo (that’s the Tequila the song recommends…not us.), lick some salt, and crank your speakers.

  • We Heart Taco Licking

    TacosSarah and No Name from Alice @ 97.3 generously invited us to their Cinco de Mayo (Thizzo de Mayo) broadcast to judge their “Battle of the Bay Taco Licking Contest.” And although nacho cheese wasn’t involved, we graciously accepted the challenge.

    The contest consisted of two teams of three: The North Bay vs. The East Bay. It was a hardfought battle, but after all the tongues were tired and all the tacos were licked, the North Bay team was crowned the victors.

    Overall, the entire event was great to be part of. Hooman was sporting an ILoveNachoCheese.com shirt, we got to hang out with the morning crew again, and we were able to meet some interesting loyal listeners. Even recently engaged Andrew “The Bachelor” Firestone showed up to drink and be merry!

    Nice work, Eric. Nice work, indeed.

  • Nachos no Good in Nashville

    InspectorSports fans in Nashville may want to think twice before purchasing nachos at the Nashville Arena concession stand. After four years of health inspections, unsafe food and a rodent problems were revealed that the Health Department called “critical violations.” In addition to 22 cases of mouse droppings in concession stands, since 2003, inspectors found out that 15 pounds of nacho cheese had to be thrown out because they were stored at the wrong temperature.

    “Lack of good time-temperature controls is the leading cause of food-borne illnesses in this country,” said Jerry Rowland of the Metro Health Department.

    There were also 21 cases of mold found growing inside ice machines and four sightings of fruit flies. Twice in four years, the Health Department suspended permits for two vendors and told them to cease operations immediately. Arena General Manager Hugh Lombardi said the violations shouldn’t keep fans from eating there.

    “I don’t think that’s alarming,” he said.

    We say, “Really, Hugh? … really?”

    In Hugh’s defense, the Health Department returned to the arena on March 29 to reinspect nine vendors and some of those vendors had prior violations of rodents. Health inspectors said they found no signs of mice in those nine reinspections.
