More than you need to know about nachos

Have you ever wondered exactly how nachos became such a beloved snack food? Or even how they came to be? Neither have I. But someone did, or else this comprehensive history of nachos would not have been written. Of particular interest was Howard Cosell’s connection to nachos; he loved them, and along with the rest of the Monday Night Football team, “worked the word nacho and the product itself in wherever they could.” Sure, it’s shameless product placement that undermines the journalistic integrity of all involved. On the other hand, it’s better than hearing about turducken every Thanksgiving.
