Professor Thom's: Nachos Undercover

1 May 2009 by rachel , ,   5 Comments

What would you do for good nachos? Would you disregard your family’s wishes, endure loss and heartache, and rub elbows with the enemy? Well, on Friday night when the Yankees and Red Sox were playing the first game of a three game series at Fenway, I risked it all to enter into a unknown world. A Yankee fan since my aunt and uncle showed me the glories of MSG network (Al Trautwig is so dreamy), I entered Red Sox territory and ordered nachos at Professor Thom’s. As the Red Sox rallied late, I was still riding a joyous nacho high that even Kevin Youkilis could not crush.

The plate of nachos was gynourmous. Bigger-than-your-face HUGE. They came served on a pizza tray on top of a cake stand. It was a brilliant presentation and made sharing easy. Since there was so much food, the nachos were good to keep picking at all throughout the game.

As you might see, in addition to the pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, the chips came with a small cup of salsa. Uncle Thom’s must have put a lot of thought into its nacho composition, because the cold salsa separation helped maintain the chips crispiness. The cheese was perfectly melted; not a single chip was burnt. There weren’t mushy refried beans which again, helped keep the chips stay crunchy. The greatest thing about this whole plate of nachos, the price. An entire pizza plate of nachos for under 9 bucks. They could easily have fed and filled 6-8 people.

While Reginald P. Nacho, Esq. was absent for this affair, I personally declare Professor Thom’s to be the best BAR nachos I have had since embarking on this nacho journey. Anyone care to disagree?

    Rachel,

    You give inspiration to Yankee fans everywhere to cross boundaries and brave a Red Sox bar, all for the sake of excellent nachos.

    I, too, hope I can muster up enough courage to try the nachos at Prof Thom’s one day with you. Just maybe on a day when the Red Sox are off.

    Sincerely,
    A young lady whose first crush was Tino Martinez

    Being a Yankees fan gives inspiration to no one, but there’s an opportunity to buy some probably.

    Do they have a smaller size nachos, if say only two people want to share them?

    For better or worse, they only come in one size: Ginormous

    [...] Would you describe your sound as a carefully orchestrated work of art like pizza style nachos or a delicious hot-mess like bar nachos? [...]
