An Ode to Ballpark Nachos (In Two Parts)

[Popeye_Card]

After I read, no, experienced this masterpiece I openly wept.

Thank you.

Believe me, I wept during the experience too. Both parts. Tears of joy, then tears of pain. The yin and yang of ballpark nachos.

--P--

The all time catch 22. I don't have the will power to say no to the nachos every time I am at Busch even though I know what lies ahead.

I love this message board so damn much.

Guess not.

Seeing that this thread just had its seventh birthday makes me feel old.

IIRC, the concession stands at Busch have a bottomless, boiling hot cauldron to ladle the cheese out of. I was at Kaufman recently and they had one of those crappy gas station set ups where it pumps out lukewarm cheese from a bag.

I still had my heart set on some nachos so I pulled the trigger anyway. The lady said it was the end of a bag so she was going to empty it and I might get a little extra. The problem was she GROSSLY underestimated how much cheese was left. She filled the cup until it was overflowing and then drowned all of the chips and it was still going. She finally stopped at the point when adding any more would have just slid right over the side. I'm as big a fan of melted cheese product as anyone, but this was complete overkill. The looks I got from people were great, though. It was about 75% horrified and 25% jealous. And I couldn't stop to explain what happened so everyone had to assume I was some disgusting weirdo that paid like a $10 up charge for an actual mountain of cheese.

Forgotten jalepeno.

Put me in the jealous group.

I tried the carnitas chicken on the nachos at Busch the other night.

I'm not sold on the whole BBQ nachos concept.

I just want chips, cheese goo (and plenty of it) and enough jalepenos to cover all of the chips/cheese goo.

The addition of BBQ sauce ruins it.
