Nachos in Paradise: Lucky Strike Social with special guest Logan!

Anyone else love bowling as much as I do? I have so many fond memories at the old bowling alley from my childhood in my hometown. They tore it down years ago but the memories are still alive. We even went bowling for a PE class one year. I can remember riding the school bus and we would all sit in the back because there was this one dip on the side road that would make you bounce so high off the seats if the driver would go fast enough. You could really catch some air. We thought it would be a super fun night to eat nachos and go bowling. Unfortunately when we arrived, the lanes were full and there was a long wait. Oh well, nachos and cocktails instead. The shot special was a Baby Guinness so we might have had a few of those .

The best part of the night was definitely when the handsome and charming, Mr. Logan joined us. He lives on Maui now so it's a special treat to get to spend time with him.

Lucky Strike had three nacho options available to choose from:

Estaban's Nachos $16 - Housemade cheese sauce, pico de gallo, jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole with the option to add chicken tinga or kalua pork for $4.

Spicy Ahi Poke Nachos $16 - Wonton chips, ahi poke, grilled pineapple, pickled ginger, kabayaki sauce, and Sriracha aioli.

Nacho Fries $11 - Pepper jack, queso, pico de gallo, jalapeños, guacamole, and sour cream.

Shananigans (4) - PRESENTATION: Huge pile, no pico for me. RAD: Cheese + fries + jalapeños makes me happy. The fries' saltiness is perfect. LAME: Not enough cheese. Zero layering, bottom completely empty. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 2.5, needs more cheese like a whole extra side of cheese.

Discord (4+) - PRESENTATION: Funky strange shaped plate which I like. Looks great, pretty excited. RAD: I've never had wonton nachos before and I really like them. LAME: They came cold, which was a bit sad. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: Toppings included mango, ginger, fruitcake, spicy mango. Crazy fun, loved the mango, such a great counter to the furikake. I think because it was so new to me, that I overrated it. They were a bit slow to take the orders, but otherwise good.

Celestial Seasonings (4) - PRESENTATION: Piled high with chips, toppings, looks well distributed. RAD: Chicken was yummy, they used the thighs. Cheese was layered. LAME: Chips were too think to handle. Guac was super salty. Wax paper on the bottom was disintegrating. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 4, pretty good. Definitely go on Thursday for drink specials.

Nick Nacho (3) - PRESENTATION: Nicely decorate, looks like a big meal. RAD: Ahi doesn't suck. It's probably previously frozen but it's still good. Also the pineapple pairs very well. LAME: My topping ran out. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 3, not good, but I am full. I needed to ration my toppings. Dave an Buster like, but not bad. Bowling!

Tango Tango (1.5) - PRESENTATION: Liquid cheese and served on a tin tray...cold. Limp dick nachos. RAD: Ehh...there are a lot of them, serving for 3. LAME: Took so long to come. Soggy, limp dick chips. After several minutes the wax paper under the nachos becomes a part of these shitty nachos. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: These are the bad sex of nachos, soggy and cold. I want a shower and to forget. Restaurant has excellent air conditioning. These were shitty nachos.

Kimmie (3) - PRESENTATION: Beautiful. RAD: Kalua Pork, yum! LAME: Pico de gallo is bland. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 5. Needs spice. You may call it a quesadilla, but it is a giant stuffed nacho to me.

Zack (4) - PRESENTATION: A healthy mix of cheese, pico, guac, jalapeños, sour cream on top and plenty of fries. RAD: Extra quest on the side (maybe from Shannon's order?) Basically Mexican poutine. LAME: Too much fries, not a bad problem to have I guess. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 3, needed the side of queso.

JQPineapple (3.5) - PRESENTATION: Nice presentation, chicken is good. RAD: Chicken was delicious. LAME: The guac! Gross, slaty, but flavorless too. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 4. Got cod fast, limp chips, slaty as hell guac. Good service!
