From Vermont cheddar to Wisconsin colby and on to California Monterey jack, she\u2019ll hit the iconic cheese destinations of America and introduce you to regional delicacies and recipes along the way. If you missed it, don\u2019t forget to read last week\u2019s post on <a title=\"Regional Cheese Cuisine: Toasted Ravioli\" href=\"\/blog\/regional-cheese-cuisine-toasted-ravioli\" target=\"_blank\">St. Louis Toasted Ravioli<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Nachos are one of the most ubiquitous cheesy treats out there. It\u2019s an easy appetizer or meal that can be jazzed up to anyone\u2019s liking. Traditionally nachos use Mexican-inspired ingredients, but you can easily add a wide array of toppings to personalize them however you like. This cheesy classic hails from Texas and &#8211; like everything else &#8211; the nachos are bigger in Texas (and quite possibly better, too!).<\/p>\n<h3>History<\/h3>\n<p>Despite what you might think, the nacho hasn&#8217;t been around for very long. One version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oed.com\/view\/Entry\/240225\" target=\"_blank\">nacho birth tale<\/a> starts just south of Eagle Pass, Texas. Supposedly, in 1943 several ladies on a shopping trip wandered into the Victory Club restaurant after it had closed. Not wanting to turn paying customers away, Ignacio Anaya, the chef, made the simple dish and called it Nachos Especiales. The recipe shows up in 1954 and 1956 in local church cookbooks. St. Anne&#8217;s Cookbook in 1954 proved the existence of Ignacio &#8216;Nacho&#8217; Anaya by sharing his recipe from the Victory Club. Later in 1956, the Church of the Redeemer in Eagle Pass, Texas, published a local cookbook with a recipe for the cheesy chip dish that had become quite popular.<\/p>\n<p>The original recipe is extremely simple:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Cut a stack of corn tortillas into 4 wedges. Fry them in about an inch of vegetable oil till crisp. Place on a baking sheet and top liberally with longhorn cheddar cheese and jalape\u00f1o pepper slices. Bake at 400 degrees till melted and bubbling. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Though many sources agree that Anaya was the first to come up with the nacho, his role in each story is slightly different. Some claim that Ignacio &#8216;Nacho&#8217;&nbsp;Anaya was the ma\u00eetre d&#8217; who greeted the shopping women. Unfortunately, he could not find the chef and came up with the nacho dish with what he could find to appease the ladies.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The nacho did not become widely popular until the early 1950s. El Cholo Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles is credited with the popularization of the tasty treat thanks to a friendly waitress, <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.latimes.com\/2008\/oct\/17\/local\/me-rocha17\" target=\"_blank\">Carmen Rocha<\/a>. Rocha would whip up the dish that was not on the menu only for special guests, including Jack Nicholson who liked to share his favorite snack with his high-profile friends.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/firstwefeast.com\/eat\/history-of-baseball-stadium-nachos\/\" target=\"_blank\">Frank Liberto<\/a> also helped make the nacho a success by selling them at Arlington Stadium (home of baseball\u2019s Texas Rangers at the time). Liberto had one small problem with nachos: the cheese needed to be melted.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;[B]ecause real cheese didn\u2019t have a great shelf life (and melting it would require an oven or broiler), Liberto devised a fast food form of Anaya\u2019s masterpiece that was part cheese and part secret ingredients. The new sauce didn\u2019t need to be heated and, when it came to shelf life, it could likely survive a nuclear blast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">As the nacho spread, ingredients were personalized and the cheesy treat spread all over the United States.<\/p>\n<h3>Top 6 Places to get Nachos in Texas<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_15667\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cs1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15667\" class=\"wp-image-15667 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cs1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: Image courtesy of Cora's 471\" width=\"625\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cs1.jpg 625w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/cs1-300x108.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Image courtesy of <a title=\"Cora's 471\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coras471grill.com\" target=\"_blank\">Cora&#8217;s 471<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coras471grill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cora&#8217;s 471 Grill<\/a><\/strong> in Castroville makes the bold claim that they have &#8220;the best damn nachos in Texas.&#8221; Their nachos come in four sizes ranging from small to extra large, which comes on a cafeteria tray.
