Dish: Nuclear Assault Nachos (photo: Chef John Hurkes)
Ingredients: Fire-braised pig confit, pickled onions and jalapenos, nuclear cheese reactor, and OC-17 police grade pepper-sprayed multi-continental fried chips.
Album: Nuclear Assault’s Survive – The legendary east coast thrash platter meltdown, rising from 1988.
Tasting notes: I won’t cook to help keep the Dow Jones out of the red. These New York-style nachos are assembled for only two reasons; ’80s speed metal and liberty! The food-cost analysis is “F#”reedom. Moshing on the “Wired” metal pan, the multi-continental chips are pepper sprayed as the pork is blasted with a Searzall flamethrower. Rising up from the cheese reactor, Dan Lilker’s boiling bass lines collide with towering French fries and caustic potato chips. The shredding guitars and aural assault of legendary vocalist John Connelly shrieking “Equal Rights” leads this nacho protest. Your fingers are the warheads that destroys this mess. Pair this dish with a high-tech fireball Manhattan cocktail and you got a feast to Survive. (And if you want the nacho vegetarian, ditch the pork for some black beans.) Believe what you smell, believe what you eat; it’s time to stand up and cook to be free!

Genius and kudos to the chef for doing this dish. Absolute genius and metal as fuck
looks hot. I think I’d be in a trail of tears after eating this. My tongue would hopefully survive and rise from the ashes though. Wouldn’t want to have any emergency surgery after my meal.
