Whenever I stroll into a sports bar I typically feel out of my element. In a land of flat screen TVs, chicken wings, and latterly-bought jerseys the only constant consolation I can rely on is nachos. Whether they are called "Grand Slam Nachos," or "Hat Trick Nachos," or even "The Immaculate Nachos," I know what to expect. Unfortunately, that which I expect is generally a mediocre nacho appetizer. Buffalo Wild Wings did not disappoint as I "stepped up to the plate."
When I saw "Ultimate Nachos" listed in the menu I certainly didn't think that my quest is finally over and I can go back to my life as a mild-mannered nerd. However, I do think there should be more than a couple of handfuls of chips dropped in a basket with some vegetable garnish thrown on top. The chili and cheese that were used to bind this appetizer together were actually more boring than a quite evening in watching curling. In fact, the cheese was so fascinatingly nondescript that this is the actual transcript between my girlfriend and I as I was first tasting it:
Kristan: Baby, I am so happy to be with you. I love you.
Faust: What kind of cheese is this???
Seriously.
So, I suggest that Buffalo Wild Wings change the name of the platter to "Roberto De Vicenzo Nachos" because golf is the most boring sport in the world and I fucking hate it. See, every sports bar should be required to brand their platters with hackneyed sports puns that best represent those platters. Then, and only then, will I fill more comfortable at these establishments.
