Uno Chicago Grill (formerly Pizzeria Uno), or more informally known as Unos, is the title for a franchised pizzeria restaurant chain under the parent company Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation. Thank you Wikipedia for this confusing history lesson! If Unos put as much thought into their nacho platter as they do into naming and renaming their business I might have something delicious to blog about. Unfortunately, this will not be the case. With more than 7,300 restaurants in city of Chicago, Uno Chicago Grill is regrettably the only one that has made the great and historical journey into my digestive system.

Now, I must admit that the Chicago Classic Deep Dish 9 Grain Pizza we ordered was as damn good as it damn sounds. But we are not here to talk about pizza, are we? We are here to talk about nachos. With this "Muchos Nachos" platter we once again run into a situation where convention is king: No surprises were uncovered, no ingredients were atypical and no chances were taken. As stated before, I know large chain restaurants are generally not a breeding ground for originality, but it is still possible to find that authorized-diamond in the corporate-rough. All the ingredients were "good," all the flavors were "fine," and I certainly did not regret polishing off the entire platter of nachos. However, I certainly wouldn't recommend them to my mother in a letter I spent time writing on a quite Sunday afternoon.
