Happy President’s Day nacho lovers! Or rather, Happy Day-Off-After-Valentine’s-Day! All I normally think about on this day is bombarding Target and buying all the discounted Sweethearts candy I can get my hands on. But today folks, we should be celebrating our fearless leaders and guess what, they love nachos too.

I’m no expert on love, as I will be hitting the Gato Negro hard this Sunday, but I do know my nacho gifts. Trust me, these will melt anyone’s cheddar-cheese-log heart into ooey, gooey, warm queso.

On Saturday, at the age of 86, Glen W. Bell Jr., the founder of much-lampooned franchise Taco Bell, passed away. For a legitimate obituary, you can check out this one in the New York Times. We’re not here to report on his passing, but to appreciate his existence.

I have told you many times how awesome my Mom and Dad are. For those of you who don’t know, my parents are missionaries in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti on behalf of Christian Services International Ministries. They are fine, however, the country is not.

Another year is gone and a new one is upon us, which means it’s time to hunker down and make a few resolutions. Sure, you could be boring about it and say you’re going to lose weight and save money and blah blah blah.

That’s an exorbitantly long title, but it has all the necessary info. Finally after much bugging from people, the Chos Before Hoes shirt has become available for women.

I first off want to say muchas gracias to Lee and the apprentice, Dan for stepping up and repping “Nacho Mama’s Cookies” at this year’s Cookie Takedown, brought to you by the wondrous Matt Timms. Don’t worry kids, he wasn’t swinging anything in our favor. This victory was decided by the people. So of course THANK YOU!

This Saturday, while most people were shopping, waking up from a Turkey Coma or fixing up leftovers, I took 79 of Philly’s finest on a Nacho Crawl. With the help of John Steele at RedHedMedia, The Philly Nacho Crawl got so much publicity, it was like NachosNY took over Philadelphia media.

It has come to my attention that I have failed to introduce the newest member to our NachosNY team. Instead, I have just talked smack and put the intern in his place. While I wait for him to fetch my coffee, let’s say hello to Dan Piccoli who has enrolled in the NachosNY apprenticeship program.

Last week, the final numbers came in and we fully funded the Kickstarter campaign to replace my computer and camera. That means the blog will continue to rock your face off!
