GIve Me Nachos, Or Give Me Death!

Since the discovery of the famous nachos at the Raleigh Times, my roommate and I have made it a weekly habit of going to the bar for Sunday lunch.  In my humble opinion, there is no more perfect way to begin my week.

The bar is generally known as a hipster joint, many times crowded with people in skinny jeans and flannel shirts slowly sipping PBR and smoking Parliament Light cigarettes.

Whether you’re a hipster or not, and whether you're a nacho lover or not… People can agree on one thing:  There is no better meal on the planet.  Everyone loves them.

Patience Arrowood, a visitor of Raleigh said, "I heard about these nachos and had to try them.  I don't even eat pork, but this is amazing."

The BBQ pork nachos are definitely the way to go.  I have never tried anything else, nor will I ever bother to.  The flawlessly cooked, ever so slightly salted, freshly made tortilla chips are so flakey and crisp… they’re tough, yet oh so delicate.  The chips alone melt in your mouth, but with all the toppings.......  Okay, I’m drooling on my keyboard.

The chips are topped with a generous amount of salty (with hint of sweetness) BBQ pork, the perfect blend of cojita and cheddar cheeses, delicious and refreshing pico de gallo, and a drizzle of sour cream to perfectly balance out the super hot, super fresh jalapenos.  No place on Earth, let alone in Raleigh can top this mouth watering goodness.  You've got to try them.

The service at the Times is great.  The staff is so friendly and relaxed and the service is quick.  Our favorite server usually has us if we come in before dinner time on Sundays and I hate to say that she knows our mission... our order.

These nachos are the perfect cure for a broken heart, the drunken munchies, or an unbearable hangover.  Just sub the headache or heartbreak for heartburn!

Although I had been planning on dieting for spring break 2012, this is the only hi-cal, hi-fat, hi-everything-bad-in-the-book snack I can eat without feeling the least bit guilty.  It's that good.  So.  Good.

Over the course of the semester I plan to try out all of the most popular foods that Raleigh has to offer.  I'm sure whoever is reading this thinks I sound like the kind of gal who has to get pulled out of her house using a crane while still laying on the couch.  I am not yet, but I can't honestly sit here and tell you that I may not be by the end of the school year.  However, if the rest of Raleigh's best is even half as good as these nachos it will be totally worth it.

Tune in next week for another Dish on Raleigh's favorite meals!
