No 21st birthday barhop adventure is complete without a late night munchie stop on the way home. After a night of cocktails and debauchery, we were hungry for something regrettable to put in our bellies. We tried to go to ABC to get some musubi's but alas they were closed. Luckily, there was a 7-11 just across the way. As we walked in and perused the snacks, the sparkling nacho cheese machine caught our eye. "YES!!!," we both exclaimed, "Let's do a nacho blog!" We tore open the plastic bag of Tostito's and carefully laid out just half of the chips so we could be sure to properly layer the toppings. The cheese squirted out in spoon size plops which we carefully placed on every empty chip. Then came the next layer of chips and more carefully placed cheese. Torn between whether to add the chili, I finally gave in and globbed some of the reddish brown goo. But where were the jalapenos? Jalapenos are a must for nachos as they are part of the original creation by Ignacio Anaya when he invented the delectable dish in 1943. I walked around the island looking for a condiment bar of some sort. When I did not see one, I walked around again thinking my eyes may be deceiving me after all the tequila shots we had. Sadly there were no jalapenos. I guess we would have to suffer through these sans jalapenos. Devastated I placed my nachos on the counter along with some musubis and breakfast sandwiches. That's when the magical lady behind the counter places a little ramekin of jalapenos on my nacho container. I exclaim, "Yay jalapenos, how did you know I wanted them!?!" She replied, "The whole store knew you wanted jalapenos." Overjoyed with our bountiful treasures, we hurried through the alleys and back to the apartment where we happily engulfed our nachos, jalapenos and all.

Shananigans (3.5) - (*Please note that for some reason...tequila?...my original hand-written review was twice as long because of an abundance of expletives. Those of you who know me, know of my love for profanity but even I thought it was too much. I have removed them but feel free to insert them while reading about every other word.) PRESENTATION: ** Nacho cheese * covering all the ** chips woo * woo * woo. They are* perfect because I am ** drunk and I * made them and ** Roman is * here. RAD: ** Nacho cheese and ** JALAPENOS. The ** cheese sauce is * spicier than I * remember it. Quite the * kick, almost too much of * a kick. *Spice pansies would not be able to * handle this * level of ** heat. LAME: I know what will * happen after this is * digested with all that ** tequila in my ** belly. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 5, every ** chip is smothered in * finger-licking spicy * nacho ** cheese sauce. The * best part about these ** nachos is that ** Roman is eating them with me. Although he is a * wimp and cannot handle the * heat. Love you Roman! Happy 21st birthday you ** sexy beast!
Roman (3) - PRESENTATION: Dank, but it's 12:30am so most cheesy food looks dank AF. RAD: The chips are Tostito's. Tostito's are dank too. LAME: The cheese is freakin' spicy. The cheese needs to save the spicy for the jalapenos. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 4, Shananigans did pretty good at squeezing the cheese, considering we were at Wangs for the last 4 hours. Too spicy for my pasty tastes. Service was stellar. The 7-11 lady hooked us up with jalapenos.
