| Mankind has always endeavored upon the noblest of causes: clean burning energy, environmental protection, penis enlargement creams, breast enlargement creams, that kind of thing. Today I announce my intent to contribute my services to the pantheon of Makind’s legacy and discover once and forever – where can Baltimore’s best nachos be found?
Truly this is a noble cause, as nachos are quite simply the raddest bar food imaginable. Cheesy, sloppy, piping hot nachos with jalapenos, meat, lettuce tomato and 76 kinds of cheese are the stuff that the most mouthwatering dreams are made of. And the internet may provide a few answers here and there, people may tell you anecdotes about how rockin’ the nachos were over at Holy Frijoles, but I’m a PhD in Nachoology and I am more than utterly qualified to decide which nachos served in Baltimore are the best. |

Now, this is going to take some time. I cannot possible eat ten plates of nachos over the course of a single weekend, and I will require suggestions from you dear readers. So if you think you know where the best nachos in Baltimore are served, please feel free to suggest it via email or commentation. Otherwise, hold onto your butts kids. It’s NachoQuest 2009.
So everyone loves Restaurant Week, where 90+ Baltimore area eateries get together and decide that they don’t get enough customers and give patrons a legitimately good deal on a 3-course meal ($30 for dinner, $20 for lunch at most places). It’s great, a wonderful excuse to spend money on eating out, and usually a great opportunity for people watching, seeing some of the people that instantly jump at the opportunity to eat at Ruth’s Chris or any other perceived ‘fancy’ restaurant (seriously it’s hilarious).
But, while looking though the alphabetized list of establishments I couldn’t help but notice some of the entries didn’t…. quite fit.
For instance, probably the most screaming example – ESPN Zone. Really? ESPN Zone?
“Oh snap brah it’s restaurant week! Let’s fukkyn go to ESPN Zone and get some wings and brew and $10.00 in tokens and play some of that freethrow game! HELLA SWEET”
Actually, looking at the menu they provide, and if you squint your eyes really tightly, you couldn’t really tell that these food selections came from a sports-and-entertainment themed tourist trap, save for the ‘Sudden Death Brownie’ dessert selection. Pretty surprising actually. But, if you look at what say, Dave and Buster’s provides, you’d be pretty hard pressed to think of any reason to take such a somewhat unique opportunity such as Restaurant Week and squander it on Tortilla Soup. But, I suppose if you’re the type of person who would normally frequent these establishments or honestly thinks that P.F. Chang’s China Bistro provides too irresistible a deal to pass up during Restaurant Week, well you’re getting what you deserve.
Now the agonizing task of figuring out which place to go to begins….
