Film & Nachos
Cha Chas - 7 o/o 10
Me and many others (f r i e n d s) participate in the annual 48 Hour Film Project. We won for #RVA last summer and by doing so our team was invited to compete in the next round of the competition. Big deal stuff! This second film had to be shot over the first weekend of December. Our genre was “End Of The World”. We love the way it turned out and look forward to...
Am I healthy?
In case you’re wondering about my basic bill of health given my draw to junk food, here you go:
5’4”
125lb
152/101 blood pressure
That last thing is really bad. Like, stage 2 hypertension bad. Nurses always check it 3 times because they can’t believe it’s that bad. I’m supposed to cut salt.
Philly Cheese Steak Nachos
Yes. You read that correctly. Two salty, heart sweating, choleric nightmare inducing foods combined. I made these nachos awhile back. Travis (t) and I had some left over grilled steak. It wasn’t going to be enough for a second meal, so I decided to saute it up with some peppers and onions. Then, I took that delicious mix and put it into a classic nacho. I decided to go with just...
Late Night-chos
It actually wasn’t that late last night when I ate these, maybe only 10:30, but after my long & hellacious day it felt like I was eating dinner at 2am. These chos are from Honey Whytes (ps, I’m getting really sick of RVA restaurants not having their own websites. It’s pathetic). But what wasn’t pathetic were these nachos! I literally stopped talking to everyone...
Sidewalk Nachos
A long ass time ago, me and my friend Katy went to Sidewalk Cafe for nachos. Like everything else on the 5 pg 10pt font Sidewalk menu, there were at least half a dozen nacho options. We went with the EXTREME ones (ok, that wasn’t the name of the dish, but that’s what I’m saying b/c I can’t remember what it actually was). They just had tons of stuff on them.

Gaming Nach
My buddy Jeremy went to Dave&Busters awhile back for a little wholesome fun. While there, he did what any reasonable person would do and decided to order bar food. These nachos weren’t like most however. They were assembled as individual, neatly layered chips. Side of salsa. Jeremy was not to thrilled with this plate. I don’t think he was opposed to organized nachos, he was a...

Nacho Tats
I have zero tattoos. I know, weird right? I’ve lived in RVA for 7 years and have somehow skirted past getting “inked”. And I do believe that using a lame word like “inked” is proof enough that my body is artworkless.
Regardless of not having any of my own, I can still appreciate other people’s tattoos. Last week I met a girl named Katy and, totally...
No Work-Chos
Today is a no work holiday. Which pretty much means that Travis and I have been hungover all day due to last night’s “second saturday” celebrating. We’ve spent the greater part of the afternoon watching Venture Brothers and Party Down. All in all, a perfect nacho making scenario. I apologize for the somewhat crappy picture. I’m unbelievably bad at photographing...

Kind of a lot of Nachos
These nachos are from my friend Zack. He got them from the No Frill Bar and Grill in Virginia Beach. Weighing in at about 4 lbs, Zack gave these a 10 out of 10 for size. In fact, they were so large that once Zack tapped out on the ‘cho eating, 3 more people ate off them until full. Then Zack regrew a pair and finished them off later that evening. If you’ve been keeping track,...
Football & Nachos
MULLIGANS: I’ve never really liked the food at mulligans, and these nachos are no exception. If you’re jonesin’ for a bowl of chili and think that hunting for it under a pile of dry tomatoes will make it more satisfying, then I found your dish. In summation, these could use more cheese and sour cream and less weird meat.
A Nacho Travis-ty
Oh, the play on words never end! My boyfriend’s name is Travis and a few weeks ago he really fucked up my nacho consumption. Please read the following text msg screen grab Travis (twitter & blog) submitted to TheNachoBlog.
Earlier messages would show that I’d asked several times if he could order me some nachos and I’d repay him. Apparently, he didn’t realize...
Nachos!
Nachos!
I love nachos.
I mean; I truly and deeply and with an almost weird passion love nachos. That’s why I’m starting this blog.
Let me take a moment to break down the title for you. There’s a simply hilarious idiom in the English language where the term “nachos” precedes other words to make a funny that’s meant to be read as something being “not yours”. So basically by using this clever...
