Nachos at Dog and Duck, Kihei Maui HI

Irish Nachos?

Great with a few scoops, a swalley, and a wee half! Who knew I would stumble upon Irish Nachos in Maui of all places. Dog & Duck is a local Irish Pub tucked in the beach town of Kihei, near Wailea on Maui. Their potatoe skins smothered in nacho toppings sure brought out the luck o the irish at trivia night.

Nachos at Brennecke’s Beach Broiler, Poipu Kauai HI

Pub Crawl U-Turn

Nachos are a mandatory stop on any good pub crawl. While in Kauai for the 2010 marathon, I led a group of runners on PCK (Pub Crawl Kua-eeeeeeeeeeee), and helped them carb-load for the big race. After trudging through the sandy shores of Poipu beach, stopping at 1 pub after another, we finally found Nachos at Brenneckes. While they were not quite as exhilirating as the Double Rainbow sighting, they added a lil spice to island life with their jalapeno topper!

Nachos at Pedro’s Cantina, San Francisco CA

Vote For Pedro 

Another bar near the ballpark means another plate of nachos for the hood! Luckily, Pedros has many delicious choices like Tacos, Quesadillas, & Tostada Salad because their nachos are just ok. While I do not recommend them as a pre-game choice, they do taste better post-game accompanied by a pitcher of BL Smooth to celebrate a Cubs win!

Nachos at Public House + Mijita, San Francisco CA

Even award-winning Chef Traci des Jardins knows how to prioritize nachos on the menu at her grand opening of 2 new restaurants at AT&T ballpark: Public House & Mijita. The former Acme Chophouse location has been transformed into an oversized sportsbar with a 78-keg wall separating the space. Traci has really hit a homerun, or should I say Splash Landing, with these amazing baked nachos! I was near tears when I discovered that the mess of SOB (South Of the Border) flavor was baked on top of a soft tortilla…her brilliant invention to roll-up the messy nacho scraps into a burrito was an unexpected surprise — Que Bueno! I also love that they treat locals to free beer tokens when the Giants are away…gotta keep warm in that San Francisco fog.

Nachos at Brophy’s Tavern, Carmel CA

FORE!

Golf + Nachos, a hole in 1. Brophy’s Tavern is a warm welcome after the 2-hour drive South from San Francisco. The perfect local hideout on busy Tournament weekends in Carmel-By-The-Sea.
