Keyser Soze once said, the greatest trick the perfect plate of nachos ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist. And like that…they’re gone.
Last Saturday Moviesandfood attended a bar crawl in Boston, MA, so naturally, at our second stop- Mija Cantina and Tequila Bar, we ordered a plate of nachos…and then two more. The nachos were delicious; solid chips, evenly distributed cheese, great mix of sour cream and guac, juicy brown beans without dampening the bottom layer of chips, and the pulled pork. The pulled pork really brought this dish of nachos to the next level. But was this the perfect dish of nachos? Hard to tell, I had a few bites and just like that, they were gone. The quality was undoubtedly there, but we need quantity as well. Can’t be teasing us like that.
So in order to properly vet the Mija nachos we ordered another serving, and then one more after that. And as the beers began to flow like wine, the nachos got better and better. But that brings up the question, is this a classic case of “inebriation inflation”? After an extensive study done by your favorite bloggers here at Moviesandfood we have scientifically proven that the drunker you are the better your food tastes resulting in higher ratings, and have coined it “Inebriation Inflation”. So was this in fact a case of inebriation inflation? Of course!! By the third dish we were fuckin’ hammered!
That does not change the fact that the nachos were still excellent. But no, they were not the perfect plate of nachos, lacking quanitity is a major hit against a plate of nachos. However the perfect plate of nachos still hasn’t convinced me they don’t exist, so the search continues!
