Happy National Nacho Day Everyone!

Hey guys. Nate here. Your friendly DMV blogger. I like the simple things in life. Alexander Ovechkin, drinking 100 beers to try and build the courage to talk to girls, and nachos. Nachos are an incredible food. One of my favorites. My go-to appetizer, a talking point of any conversation, and the peanut butter to my jelly.

Nachos are great for many reasons. One of the best things about nachos are they are always the biggest app on the menu. Unless you go to some communist joint, nachos will never let you down in size, and are always welcomed at any dinner table. And let’s just take a minute and reflect on the way nachos lead into your main course perfectly. Seamlessly. Just think about it, how smoothly you transition from sharing nachos with the table into eating your meal. The segway is perfect.

Now, let’s talk nachos faux pas. For me, restaurants who put black olives on nachos should be hung in the town square.
 

See how amazing those look? And then BOOM! black olives out of nowhere to ruin your day. And it’s always a tricky situation, because nobody likes that weirdo who picks food off and puts them on their plate. It’s just not a good look. So you have to stomach the black olives and all and all your night is basically ruined.

Faux pas number two is when these are called nachos:
 

Usually found at your local ice rink or shitty college snackbar, if you call those nachos you might as well call me the Michael Jordan of journalism. It’s a severe slap in the face to all that is holy. I don’t pretend to win pulitzers, so those rinky dinky chips and luke-warm nacho cheese should not be allowed to be called nachos. I especially love when they give you the choice of having salsa with them too, which is basically chunky ketchup. Get it out of my face before I stab you in the throat.
 

Good nachos are all about layering. They should have the perfect amount of cheese melted throughout, with your choice of meat right there with it. Additional cheese and meat should be on the top, with the sour cream, guacamole, onions, tomato, jalapeño, and whatever else you like.

Nachos are a prized and valued member of our society. It’s why the terrorists hate us, the Canadians are jealous of us, and the Mexicans want to be us. Today, we celebrate the greatness that is the nacho. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
