Mmmmmm nachos...
Finally they get the day they deserve.
Today is National Nachos Day, so we take a second to look into what makes the beautiful dish so special.
Nachos made their first appearance Piedras Negras, Mexico when Ignacio Anaya had to make a late snack for some hotel customers. It was late at night, so he just grabbed what he had available, putting cheese and peppers on top of some fried tortillas.
Slap a name like Nacho's Especiales on them, and you get nachos!
By the late 1970s, the beautiful dish had crossed the border and was being served at Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys games.
The first American restaurant to dish out the dish was El Cholo in San Antonio.
And, if you were wondering if there were size restrictions on nachos, there aren't. The largest plate of nachos ever made tipped the scales at 4,700 pounds!
(Typical Americans. Take a nice, simple meal and turn it into a monstrosity. I love it!)
