Hub City Pub: Moncton New Brunswick

Hub City Pub is located in Casino New Brunswick, Moncton, NB. This is a fun spot where you can play lots of games, see some live entertainment, and eat some delicious food. There is also a buffet in the same building that offers a variety of different delicious foods if you're undecided on what you would like to eat. We stayed in the hotel for a couple of nights and watched NOFX's last concerts in Canada! While we were there, we had the nachos at the Hub City Pub twice because we wanted to research the chicken and beef options, and because they were just that good.  Hub City Pub Regular Beef Nachos - August 2024 Hub City Late Night Chicken Nachos - August 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was just okay as there were some bare chips left over at the end. That was the case both times that we tried these nachos.  Quality The taco beef was nice and moist and well-seasoned. The chicken was tasty! It definitely did not taste like it came out of a can like we...

Pickle Jar: Fredericton New Brunswick

Pickle Jar is located inside the Hilton in Fredericton, New Brunswick. After the Fredericton Marathon  , I really wanted to just sit for the rest of the day and it was nice to watch some sports and drink some pop. Not even diet pop, but a good old regular pop. We stayed there for quite a while until it was supper time, and so we decided to have some nachos. Post-marathon nachos are the best! Pickle Jar Kettle Chip Nachos with Chicken - May 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was about average. There was mostly something for every chip. Quality The nachos had chicken but the pieces were so small that it was barely detectable. The kettle chips were nice, crispy, and salty. There was some excellent house made hot sauce offered which was also a huge plus. In addition, the dill dipping sauce was delicious. I like when places differentiate their nachos a little bit by offering unique dips. It seems like there has been a trend of nachos not having a good toast facto...

Miguel's Mexican Restaurant: Bangor ME

On our way back home from Boston, we had to stop to get nachos one more time. It's like the last hurrah of a vacation before you get home. And then once you get home, the Edmonton Oilers lose in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. I remember chatting with a friend at the time, telling her that it was okay that Florida had a powerplay because no one had scored on Edmonton on the power play in a long time. Soon after, I heard the announcer say "and with that, Florida scored on their powerplay against Edmonton." As it stands in 2024, a Canadian team has not won the Stanley Cup since our Habs in 1993. What will the future bring? So for the last hurrah of this vacation, we stopped at Miguel's in Bangor and had some nachos. This was after we had the excellent Guy Fieri nachos. It was a tough act to follow, but what can you do? Miguel's Beef Nachos - June 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was pretty good, although there wasn't much in the way of...

Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar: Boston, USA

After visiting Gordon Ramsay Burger, I think it was only fitting to visit Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar which is located right next to the Boston Common.  Here  is a link to the website for this place. The entries for Boston are being posted in chronological order and it felt like the nachos were getting better and better as time went on. Let's check out their nachos. Guy Fieri's Pork BBQ Trash Can Nachos - June 2024 Guy Fieri's Pork BBQ Trash Can Nachos - June 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was perfect as every chip was loaded with lots of cheese. I think a lot of places can learn from them. Quality The quality was out of this world! There were real corn chips, tasty BBQ pork, and everything was so cheesy (traditional cheese blend) and creamy with a generous amount of queso and sour cream. The jalapeƱos, cilantro, and pico de gallo at the top really hit the spot. There's something about cilantro that can really make the taste pop. Quantity  ...
