National Nachos Day is November 6 and nachopreneur Alex P. Taylor is celebrating in grand style with the release of his “Most Unique and Creative Nachos in Every State” list. Nicknamed “The Nacho King of Connecticut,” upon sharing his love for all things layered with cheesy, meaty, spicy, creamy, fresh, and creative goodness on local and national media outlets, including Great Day Connecticut, Connecticut’s Morning Buzz, FOX 61, WTNH’s This Week in Connecticut, HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and even on the Bravo reality show Below Deck where the yacht’s private chef and Alex teamed up to create octopus nachos, Alex has been showcasing original nacho recipes from his upcoming cookbook, Totally Nachrageous: Lessons in Life and Nachos.

Research for the book began in Alex’s home state of Connecticut, where he scoured the internet and social media and reached out to his fellow food influencers in search of the most unique and creative nachos. One chip led to another, and Alex found there was a whole country of nacho-lovin’ food enthusiasts and restaurateurs taking this popular Mexican bar food to a whole new level, which shouldn’t come as a surprise with 21% of restaurants in the US offering nachos on their menus (Tastewise) and a global nachos market valued at $1.596 billion and projected to rise 5+% in 2024 (Market Research Future, 2023).

“This list is very different from other lists available online. It’s a list made for all of the adventurous nacho lovers out there,” says Alex, “From nacho fusion to the most unique toppings and cultural ingredients, I’ve compiled a fun list of daring restaurants and bars that have boldly gone where no nachos have gone before.”

From yuca frita nachos topped with pepper jack cheese, tomato, scallions, house-made salsa and guacamole, and juicy pork belly from Barracuda Bistro & Bar in New Haven, CT to Boise, Idaho’s 10 Barrel Brewing Co’s steak nachos layered with seasoned potato chips, grilled steak, bacon, jalapeño, bleu and mixed cheeses, 4-cheese sauce, and green onions, Alex’s Totally Nachrageous list of national nacho creations is a virtual food tour across the country that has the makings of a delicious road trip for adventurous foodies.
