61 Comments Nom or Vom: Culinary Culling aka The Nacho Cheeseburger

    Nacho cheese + beef? No problem. (though I’d rather dunk than have it spread on the burger.)

    Nacho cheese + fast food fried chicken patty? The thought turns my stomach.

    1. admin August 26, 2008 at 10:56 pm

      Don’t forget the cut up rounds of jalepenos, for an extra taste sensation!

      Honestly, the thought of nacho cheese squirting out the sides of a sandwich, be it chicken OR beef, makes me feel nauseated.

    If I could sum that up in one word, that would be: HORRRF.

    1. admin August 26, 2008 at 10:54 pm

      The word I was going for was SPEWWWWWWWCH. Spew + ewww + sandwich= SPEWWWWWWWCH.

          I have no choice but to make you pay my homeowner’s association dues now.

            Oh… but… But… I WILL NEED TO GET A ROOM MATE!

          2. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:24 pm

            THAT WILL BE AN EXTRA $150 JUST FOR WATER. YOU SHOWERING WHORE.

            But… I’m filthy. I haven’t showered in six days… and I got stung by a bee that you said was really a wasp and then the spray didn’t work, because you got it at safeway…

            I don’t have time for this, I have RESERVATIONS for a JOB, kid.

      Oh crap, leighhyphenanne, I laughed til I cried.

    There is no food in existence not improved by the addition of a molten layer of artificial nacho cheese food product, be they saggy tortillas, razor-sharp hash browns, or even normally unappetizing grease patties.

    Yum.

    1. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:18 pm

      Are you suggesting that nacho cheese posseses the same magical food transformative properties as bacon?

      1. leighhyphenanne August 26, 2008 at 11:26 pm

        Have you heard of Bacon Salt?

        It’s from seattle. 🙂

        1. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:27 pm

          Babydoll, I own a bottle and I sent a bottle to . 😀

          1. leighhyphenanne August 26, 2008 at 11:29 pm

            Ah!!! You are amazing. I found it last weekend at Luna Park Cafe. They’ve got it tucked in between the salt and pepper.

          2. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:33 pm

            I was way impressed at how it makes my world better, just by making my world more bacony.

      2. shadowstitch August 26, 2008 at 11:27 pm

        I’m not just suggesting, I am CONFIRMING.

          NACHO CHEESECAKE?

          1. shadowstitch August 26, 2008 at 11:44 pm

            It would be delicious and you know it.
            Especially served in a tortilla bowl and a bacon whip topping.

          2. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:38 pm

            I know no such thing!

            Really, the bacon should be baked into the cheesecake to make it more savory in general.

  4. zophos August 26, 2008 at 11:56 pm

    I won’t lie to you

    I would totally eat this. Maybe even on purpose.

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:42 pm

      Re: I won’t lie to you

      I might eat it on some kind of food-based dare.

  5. jessetastic August 27, 2008 at 1:17 am

    I’m a sucker for jalapeños.

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:50 pm

      I think the oozy cheese bothers me more than the idea of big chunks of jalepeños.

      1. jessetastic August 27, 2008 at 5:12 pm

        You could just pretend it’s Tex Mex

        1. admin August 27, 2008 at 7:41 pm

          Does Tex Mex utilize nacho cheese?

          1. jessetastic August 27, 2008 at 8:49 pm

            It’s Queso, but yeah, it looks like that. Only it’s usually actual real cheese.

      Did you rush right out and buy one?

  7. cordelia_rose August 27, 2008 at 2:20 am

    it sounds terrible, and makes me throw up in my mouth a little…. but I am willing to admit that in some late night cheesefood craving stupor it might seem like a good idea. I did just go to cralos o’kelley’s for some nummy cheese dip last night. . . . ok, I probably still would not eat that monstrosity.

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:55 pm

      I’m pretty sure that sometime after last call, it might seem like a wise idea. Hell, the liquid cheese *might* ease the whole vomit-hangover process.

  8. damienwolfe August 27, 2008 at 2:44 am

    I have actually tried both. 😀

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:53 pm

      D:

      And no flavor review? No regrets of any kind? Or accolades? The WORLD IS WAITING.

      1. damienwolfe August 27, 2008 at 7:36 pm

        How would you feel about a review ala Youtube? Or I can give a normal text one if you’d like. 🙂

        1. admin August 27, 2008 at 7:40 pm

          Either one works for me!

          1. damienwolfe August 28, 2008 at 1:09 am

            To make the review fair, I decided to try them again prior to writing this. I must preference that this my own opinion and that I do infact like spicy food. In fact, I expect my nose to run whenever I eat something that claims to be spicy. If it doesn’t, I feel like it was false advertising. That being said, here’s my review.

            For such a nominal fee per sandwich, you can’t expect good quality meat. If you are content with JitB’s meat on the value meal sandwiches, then you won’t be disappointed. With the meat at least. Each sandwich is smothered in spicy nacho cheese sauce and topped with jalapeños. The chicken sandwich works surprisingly better than one would think, seeing as chicken doesn’t really need cheese on top. I think this is due to the fact that it’s almost akin to a buffalo chicken sandwich with the spicy cheese and jalapeños.

            The burger however seems to be at a disadvantage. While the nacho cheese sauce works great on the burger, I felt like the jalapeños were just too much.

            I can’t imagine that these two sandwiches are marketed for anything other than the later night party crowd with the munchies, much like White Castle. I would encourage anyone to try it if they do like jalapeños and nacho cheese sauce. Just do yourself the favor and keep your expectations really low. You might like it more than you thought you would.

          2. admin August 28, 2008 at 5:24 pm

            I applaud your culinary bravery, sir!

            When you compared the Nacho Cheese sandwiches to White Castle, you made it quite clear that these sandwiches are not for me, as I have found White Castle to be a whole new level of nasty. 😉

          3. damienwolfe August 28, 2008 at 10:40 pm

            I just meant the comparison to White Castle to be referring to being marketed to the vampire crowd. 🙂

          4. admin August 28, 2008 at 10:43 pm

            ! I thought vampires only drank blood, not sliders or chicken rings!

          5. damienwolfe August 28, 2008 at 10:47 pm

            Har har har.

            I guess it depends whether or not they have the “Eat Food” merit.

          6. admin August 28, 2008 at 10:54 pm

            You, sir, have just outnerded me.

          7. damienwolfe August 28, 2008 at 11:06 pm

            They don’t call me Geekus Maximus at the office for nothing. 😀

    DO NOT WANT.

    1. admin August 26, 2008 at 10:53 pm

      Butbutbut…you’re the scab at my hunger strike! What am I going to do now? 🙁

      1. jumpinjessflash August 26, 2008 at 11:03 pm

        Do anything you like as long as it DOES NOT INVOLVE THIS.

        1. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:07 pm

          Speaking of which, PAX is coming up again–maybe by the time next year rolls around, you’ll be here for the WENDY’S VALUE MENUE CHALLENGE.

          1. jumpinjessflash August 26, 2008 at 11:13 pm

            Is that the French spelling, “menue”?

            Also, steal this icon.

          2. admin August 26, 2008 at 11:16 pm

            Yes. Yes it is. *cough*

            I believe I will steal that icon!

  10. cleverusername2 August 27, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I’m a vegetarian and that would be gross on tofu.

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:55 pm

      *shudder* Somehow you’ve taken a bad idea and made it WORSE.

      1. cleverusername2 August 27, 2008 at 4:36 pm

        Tofu makes most anything worse.

        1. admin August 27, 2008 at 4:59 pm

          My first week in Taiwan, my host family took me to eat ‘very special taste’ stinky tofu. I tried SO HARD to be a good exchange student, but try as I might, I couldn’t keep from gagging.

          I get that most tofu is not intentionally rotten, but I can’t bring myself to eat it now.

  11. suspiciouskay August 27, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    My stomach hurts just looking at it.

    1. admin August 27, 2008 at 3:57 pm

      I want to know who gets paid for thinking of new fast-food burger toppings, and what his process was for deciding that nacho cheese would be the next logical step!

  12. poetrix618 September 2, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    Oh the heartburn!

    I wouldn’t eat this sober.

    1. admin September 2, 2008 at 9:54 pm

      I wouldn’t eat this *drunk*, which, considering I went home with a guy who tried to play with my FAT while drunk, is saying a lot.
