As past devotees of spicy nachos (at least, as spicy as we can make them), we found this article from STLtoday.com to be absolutely hilarious. Please pay attention to Nacho Commandment #4:

The nachos manifesto

I think we can all agree that the single greatest American invention of all time is nachos. Tasty, crunchy and delicious, nachos are nature’s perfect food. Few things in life soothe the soul quite like a heaping plate of loaded, filthy, disgusting nachos. Do you know why the Early Middle Ages are often called the Dark Ages? Because they didn’t have nachos. That’s true.

Unfortunately, I’m not here today to simply sing the praises of this most elegant and luxurious of nourishments. I wish that were the case. Instead, I’m here to sound the alarm and raise awareness of a situation that I’m afraid has started to border on the catastrophic.

You see, nachos, the most peaceful and mild-mannered of quasi-Mexican foods, are being threatened. Nachos are under siege. Why? It’s simple. Too many restaurants are making nachos wrong. Not a little bit wrong. A lot wrong.

Don’t believe me? Fine. Go ahead and order nachos at your local bar and grill or McSchwinkenny’s or whatever. Heck, even try ordering them at your favorite Mexican restaurant. You know what you’ll get? A big, heaping plate of suck. You’ll wonder what you did to deserve such culinary cruelty. You’ll wonder how your ten-dollar plate of ‘chos isn’t even as good as the $2.79 gruel you can get at a drive-thru at 2:30 in the morning.
