I know that Nachojawn has gone global, and wanted to give my friends who are spending time in Nepal an option for nachos.

The Himalayan Times reviews Moksh, and finds their nachos too spicy!

If you’re in Jhamsikhel and want to check them out though, look for them at  झम्सिखेल, 44700, Nepal

Kwan Dixon runs a cart called Pop’s Popcorn outside a bus station in Evansville, Ind., and offers an assortment of snacks including nachos and candy.

But, the stand, also called Koosier Daddy’s Food Cart, has drawn attention for its spicier fare.

Check out the New York Daily News’ feature on Kwan’s other offerings.

The Nachojawn family took a ride down to the 301 to see some family.  Nachojawn Jr and the rest of us took in the sights at the Natural History Museum.

 
Little Miss Nachojawn was a little too impressed by the Hope Diamond.

  
After the museum visit we all headed over to District Taco.

  
Working hard to get our order prepped, Nachojawn Jr went with his standard pastor tacos.

  
I ordered the pastor nachos, and added some guacamole.

  
The first thing that I noticed was that the chips were much too thin to handle the toppings. No way was I scooping the grilled pineapple up with those.

The nachos borrachos feature queso, black beans, and sour cream. They’re a step above your fast food restaurant, but aren’t going to be in the running for any awards.

I had to go to the fork early and often with these. I’d love to see more independent fast Mexican in Philadelphia.

Look, you’re not reading this unless you like nachos. I’ve got a whole list of places to eat, and not enough time to do it. That’s where you come in. Hit up one of these places, take a picture, and send it to me at nachojawn@gmail.com with a write-up.

You could be famous! It doesn’t have to be one of these either. On a vacation? Eat some nachos. Business lunch? Nachos. Planning a wedding? Nachos. You get it.

If you’re in the Harrisburg, PA area now through January 16th, these fish nachos are available to you.

“We added fish nachos, with the customer’s choice of seasoned trout or tilapia on a warm corn tortilla atop a bed of crisp nacho chips with fresh pico de gallo, fresh shredded slaw, pickled onions and topped off with light and tasty lime crema,” Fleetwood said. “It’s a new level of yum.”

Fresh off her takedown of El Vez, guest poster DK comes to us straight with this review of Rosewood Tex Mex. Take it away, and I hope Santa brought you a better camera for Christmas.

For me, nachos are supposed to be a gooey mess with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, and protein du jour generously portioned out.  Starting out individually portioned out, atop tortilla chips, ending in a comingled delicious mess.

Like pizza, truffle oil and the like are not permitted.

Given my unsophisticated nacho palate, these are a winner.

Solid, simple, tasty – just what I would have expected from such an unassuming store front.

I traveled out to the far suburbs with Nachojawn Jr. for a youth chess tournament one weekend. It’s not all fun and games around the Nachojawn house — we need to work our brains too.

And brains need nourishment.

During a break in play, we headed over to El Limon. Nachojawn Jr. went with his standard tacos al pastor.

I went with the pastor nachos.

The Loaded Nachos advertise cheese, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, tomatillo sauce and sour cream. And you can see the big sauteed onion sitting right there.

I liked these – you don’t expect authentic Mexican in a Malvern strip mall, but there’s a decent sized dining room and homemade salsas on the table.

From Deadspin comes this thorough analysis of Taco Bell’s new Boss Nachos, which are pitted up against 7/11’s self serve nacho bar. 

No spoilers here, but I’m going to have to conduct some independent research.

On June 12, 2016, the 6th Annual ODDyssey Half Marathon will be run in Philadelphia. The race is great, with a wall mount medal with built in beer opener, Sly Fox beer garden at the finish, and free race photos.

The race held a contest to name the signature hill of the race, a climb along Lansdown Drive into Fairmount Park. To me, there was only one possible name, The Jawn.

The race organizers asked for submissions, and The Jawn raked in the votes, but ultimately fell short to the vastly inferior, soulless entry of “Champions Climb”.

ODDyssey was kind enough to provide me with a coupon code for $5 off race entry, once registration opens on January 4th.

On the 4th, enter code “NACHOJAWN” for $5 off the race, and run that jawn. Hurry, because the code is good for one week only, and expires on January 11th.
