  • Who in the Hell Are These “Nacho Cheese” Guys?

    AboutusWe introduced the nacho loving community to the inventor of the Microwaveable Nacho Box, we interviewed the creator of “Nacho Blasters,” and we’re preparing to have a one-on-one with the man behind the song It’s Nacho Love (That I Need).

    But who are we?

    Some may have learned a bit about us from the Mercury News article, some may have heard our interview on KGO Radio, others may have even met us at the Alice @ 97.3 Cinco de Mayo Broadcast. Now you can learn a little more about the three guys who created ILoveNachoCheese.com. You can even sign up for our Twitters where we write about more than just nacho cheese. What a concept!

    So hop on over to our new About Us page and learn more… about… us… or something.

  • What Could Have Made Cinco de Mayo Better?

    Nacho_trayIt’s been 10 days since Cindo de Mayo and I can’t help but reflect on that days events.  The day was filled with laughter, beer, friends, and of course, nachos.  But what could I have done better?  What could have enhanced my overall Cinco de Mayo experience?

    The answer rests in the Heated Nacho Tray.  Gizmodo.com tempted me to with this powered nacho accessory, yet I still didn’t buy one. 

    I must have had a momentary lapse of intelligence.  What could be better than having beer after beer, all the while knowing the my nacho cheese would be kept at a perfectly delicious temperature?

    So check it out, the Heated Nacho Tray is a winner in my book and is a must-have accessory for every nacho lover.

  • Nacho Car Could in Fact Be

    Story suggestion by: Dave M. Email us a story.

    CarsaleA reader recently sent in this picture. When we first looked at the photo, we wondered why anyone would send a picture of a car for sale. After all, the site is ILoveNachoCheese.com, not ILoveUsedCars.com. Then we noticed that “I’HEART’NACHO” was the vanity plate!

    As the story goes, Dave was finishing up a morning round of golf when he spotted this car in the parking lot. Instinctively, he whipped out his cell phone and snapped a picture for us. So if any of our San Jose, California nacho loving readers are in the market for a red BMW, you may want to give (408) 272-7678 a ring. And be sure to tell the owner you found out about the car on ILoveNachoCheese.com!

  • Go Beyond the Cheese

    SoapInterested in reading more than just about cheese? You don’t say! That’s funny, because I’m interested in writing about more than just cheese! Don’t get me wrong, I love nacho cheese. Honestly, I do. And I will continue to write about nacho cheese when I find a story. However, it’s getting harder and harder to find nacho cheese related stories. So… I’ve begun the next chapter in my blogging adventure (www.tonightwemakesoap.com). And this time I’m focusing on soap. Well…not exactly. What I’m planning to do is find all the fatty bits around the Internet and offer my unique commentary. So join me, because: Tonight We Make Soap!

  • 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.

  • From the Archives — Could Ice Cream with Nacho Cheese Taste Good?

    Ice_cream_nacho Recently a situation arose where I was put in a position to try nacho cheese with vanilla and chocolate ice cream.  Some of the friends I was with appeared disgusted at the thought of the mix and others were intrigued to watch me tempt my taste buds with two seemingly opposite flavors.

    I used an inexpensive nacho cheese from a local Safeway grocery store.  Rather than pour hot nacho cheese all over my ice cream, instead I took a clean spoon and dipped it in the nacho cheese bowl.  Then I filled the rest of the spoon with a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

    I ate it.

    It did not taste good.  It could have been the worst thing I’ve tasted in a while.  This mix of nacho cheese with ice cream just does not work.  In fact, I drew a blank when I began thinking about other flavors of ice cream that might taste better with nacho cheese than the vanilla and chocolate did.

  • 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.

    Dogs Love Nachos Too

    You know those times when you are in the kitchen making nachos, and your dog is staring back at you with this "can I hump your leg" "feed me some of those cheesy morsels" look on his face?

    Well now you can!

    Nachews are made from all natural rawhide ingredients and are good for your dog’s gums and teeth.  They taste great too!

  • Nacho Report: GDC 2007

    Gdc07I’ve spent the last three days in San Francisco, CA attending the Game Developers Conference. In fact, I’m at the conference right now typing up this post. Not only is this a celebration of the game industry and a place to reconnect and network, it’s also a place to bond with fellow nacho cheese lovers. However, to my dismay, I couldn’t find a single food vendor in Moscone Center selling nachos! Correct me if I’m wrong, but last time I checked (and I checked earlier today) being a gamer goes hand-in-hand with being a nacho cheese lover.

    I walked the show floor and asked a number of attendies their opinion on the matter. “Do you like nachos?” and “Did you know that there aren’t nachos available here?” The response was overwhelming, but not surprising. 100% of the people polled loved nachos, and 100% of the people polled were shocked that nachos weren’t available. Fortunately…one angel in disguise by the name of Shannon lead me in the right direction. She said that one block away, Luna Azul in the Sony Metreon served nachos.

    I know where I’m going for lunch today!

  • Nacho Sighting at GDC2007

    KotakuGDC2007 has come and gone. Overall, it was a decent show…albeit, one without nachos conveniently available in the convention center. However, in response to this post, Michael Fahey over at the gaming mega-blog Kotaku generously wrote us with this report.

    According to Fahey, Telltale Games held a small party to promote their upcoming Sam and Max game. The shindig was held at a little speakeasy in a Union Square alleyway and was home to many drunk members of the press as well as Steve Purcell, the creator of Sam and Max.

    But the big news of the night was that they were serving up nachos. Fahey described them as being “slightly thicker than your normal variety, with some of them bordering on the chewy side for some odd reason.” He added that, “while the other finger foods were down at the other end of the darkened bar, the nachos sat alone upon a pedestal, piled high…piled proudly.” He admitted to spending a fair amount of time standing next to the pedestal, scooping up copious amounts of goodness onto the slightly sweet chips before eventually breaking down, grabbing a plate, and shoveling a large chunk out of the diminishing pile and carrying them over to a table where his Kotaku cohorts and friends waited.

    We salute you, Michael Fahey, for keepin’ it real and being a proud nacho cheese lover!
