hey, ya know, everbody's talkin bout the good ol days
whatever happened to nachos? i've become frustrated with every restaurant + these new nachos everyone has. the ones with the large, tortilla-sized chips, cut into 4s with toppings, so you have about 10-12 pieces of nacho. who came up with this wack idea? i honestly have been trying hard to find old nachos where there's a pile with a bunch of stuff, then maybe a 2nd layer, if yr lucky. i believe taco bell + taco cabana still has them, but restaurants have given up + gone the way of the white-man's nacho.
i met up with my friend jay at this restaurant we used to work at back in the 80s, another homeboy jody was managing, we sat around and watched the red sox take it to the yankees in the 13th (i believe). i remembered that they had the nachos i was looking for, i actually used to work in the kitchen and made em, so i knew. i was pretty psyched. when the nachos came out, i was shocked at the site placed before me. this wasn't the nachos of old, this wasn't even the chitty nachos of new...this was a new bastardization invented by the man. a basket of tortilla chips, and a plate with all of the nacho stuff melted onto it, sort of like a dip. it was seriously the wackest invention ever. i bet the guy thought he was droppin some nacho-science, but i don't see how anyone would want to order that crap twice.
seriously, bring back my nachos; i know i could make em at home + i know they get soggy in the middle, + i know you get nachos all over yr hands when you eat em, but damn, thems nachos. i'll keep searching + let em know my appreciation when i find it.
