Nachoquest: Annabel Lee Tavern (Part 1?)

February 21st, 2012 | 2 Comments

Nestled on the very, very northeastern edge of Canton (Realtors breath a sigh of relief) Annabel Lee Tavern (601 S Clinton St.) has always been a pretty good and vibrant place to hang out, one of those good old fashioned bar restaurants that isn’t trying to be “upscale casual” or “your source for craft beer” or “any of that crap,” and since the inception of Nachoquest folks have been laying it on pretty thick that … Read entire article »

Nachoquest: El Salto

January 24th, 2012 | 9 Comments

A few dozen hours ago or so (this past Saturday) some friends and associates of mine collectively decided that we wanted to eat at a cheap Mexican restaurant that wasn’t like “Chevy’s Fancy” and certainly not “Blue Agave Overpriced” but rather “Cheap and Cheap,” and Brooklyn PARK (sorry Neal)’s El Salto (5513 Ritchie Highway) location was the answer. And so the journey began down Governor Ritchie Highway, where our dreams of $6 enchilada platters awaited … Read entire article »

I’ll usually hit up Phoenix Emporium (8049 Main Street, Ellicott City) specifically for their wide selection of bottled beers (“From around the world!”) or maybe a club sandwich on a Sunday, but a few days ago felt that twitchy Nacho Nerve™ twitching again and decided to give the pubbery’s “Super Nachos” a whirl. Running at $9.95 these ‘chos feature tomato, lettuce, cheese, chili and some sort of paprika dusting with sour cream and salsa on … Read entire article »

Nachoquest: Riptide by the Bay

June 20th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Riptide (1718 Thames St., Fells Point) is an establishment regarded mostly for their seafood, so while peering at the menu the other day I thought to myself “Hmm. Nachos. That isn’t seafood. I’ll order these and eat them with my mouth.” These particular nachos start at $8.95, and with chicken added ($3) can get pretty pricey. They’ve got the lightly salted tortilla chip base covered, and are topped with a chipotle queso sauce, cilantro crema … Read entire article »

It’s National Nachos Day!!!!

November 6th, 2010 | 5 Comments

Happy Saturday to you Baltimore, according to the internet, today November the 6th is NATIONAL NACHOS DAY* (and also Sadie Hawkins Day, who gives a shit), a day specifically designed to garner your appreciation for the golden goodness, the meat and salsa slathered, the cheese drenched awesomeness that only a giant plate of nachos can provide. And guess what, over the course of the past two years I’ve eaten an absolute ton of nachos in and around the Baltimore area, to the point that I went ahead and reviewed 13 or so of the finest (and the least finest) places to obtain Nachos in the city. So come along with me, and relive the glory — of NachoQuest. In two flavors! Post form, and Map form. *October 21st is International Day of … Read entire article »
