Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
My lucky night…while trying to establish my local residency at Pedro’s Cantina leading up to the World Series game-watches, their frantic waitstaff messed up and delivered not 1, but 2 plates of nachos! Conveniently, Pedro’s was also simultaneously hosting a beer-tasting event that evening, so I washed it all down with my favorite pint of the night: Moylan’s Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale from Novato, CA.

It’s get’n HOT in here…
Too hot for Hawaiin nachos in the Maui sun though, stick to the fruity beverages poolside to cut the heat. Terri, our favorite poolside waitress, talked me into ordering the Kalua Pig nachos. The slow-cooked pork was melting under a drizzle of guac & sour cream…save this order for sunset cocktailing when the sun falls.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Belly up to the bar for sunset shrimp specials at this dive bar on the Intercoastal waterway on the Atlantic side of Florida. Or, just wander in for an ice cold beer on their casual open-air deck. Come on, where else can you order a salad which is really a plate of nachos? Spring Break is not complete without a visit to Shrimper’s Grill & Raw Bar.
A night game in San Francisco means bundle up! Or snuggle-up to some ballpark nachos to keep warm. Mmmmm, nothing says Go Cubbies like a tray of chips smothered in velveta.

Fancy a pint?
How bout some nachos, cheeseburger & fries with that ale? Well done. You don’t have to wander far to find a great pub in London, but Pontefract Castle tops my list for bar nibbles! Skip their famous Pork Scratchins and go straight for the nachos…don’t mind that they serve them in a small bowl, bollocks!
