Squirly's: Toronto, Ontario

It was our last day in Toronto and we decided to take the long ride from our hotel by the airport into town for one last shot at what could be the best plate of nachos in Canada. I wasn't ready to say that the Beertown nachos were the best on our trip or that the Snooty Fox in Fredericton were the best in Canada. I was ready to have my mind blown and when it's your last day in a big city, you have to make it count. I wanted these nachos to be on my mind while we are trying to land in foggy Saint John and then rushing to work immediately after landing with my ears still plugged up from the plane. Plus, who knows when we will be in Toronto again? It's between Toronto or Quebec City for our fall marathon next year. They are doing a battle in my mind.  We went to Squirly's because the editor did some research and saw that Squirly's might be good. This restaurant had previously closed their doors after 36 years and recently re-opened to be Squirly's 2.0. How were t...

Hunter's Ale House, Charlottetown, PE

On July 27, 2005 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Hunter's Ale House opened its doors, and for years, has been showing tourists and islanders a good time. Hunter's ensures that you leave fully entertained by their live music and satisfied with their delicious food. One of their specialties is their nachos, with 7 different plates of nachos to choose from: Classic Nachos Bacon Cheeseburger Mexican Style Pulled Pork BBQ Chicken Chicken Curry Gluten Free Greek Nachos We went again in 2024 and there was no question as to whether or not we were going to have some nachos. It seems to be a Christmas tradition!

STMR.36 BBQ & Social: Fredericton, New Brunswick

STMR.36 BBQ & Social is one of the places we make a point to visit when we are in Fredericton (usually for a road race). It's one of those places that, no matter what you try, you will always leave with a smile on your face because the food is just that good. The service we have had there is some of the best we have ever experienced. One of the must-haves is the trash can nachos which they have called "The Best Nachos." When I tell people that I have a nacho blog, the first question they always ask is "where can I get the best nachos in (insert town)?" So... are these the best nachos in Fredericton?  STMR.36 Pulled Pork Nachos - December 2024 STMR.36 The Best Nachos with Pulled Pork: November 2022 STMR.36 The Best Nachos with Brisket: May 2022 STMR.36 The Best Nachos with Brisket: May 2022 Distribution of Toppings When we went in December 2024, the distribution of toppings was not great. There was quite a bit of bare chips left over.  Quality While the nacho...

Mo'Cha Bubble Tea & Cafe: Rothesay, New Brunswick

Mo'Cha Bubble Tea & Cafe is located in Rothesay, New Brunswick, in a new strip mall across from the plaza that has Pomodori and CIBC. This was one of those times where a review got posted in the Foodie group  and we had to go check it out. I appreciate whoever posted that review because they let me know where to find good nachos, so that I could also experience the excellence. I love spreading joy! I also like to give restaurants feedback about my experiences so that they can improve. When I post these reviews, I have also provided feedback to the restaurant either in-person in the moment, or when they send a link for feedback afterwards. One of the things they say often in that Facebook group is "did you let the manager know before you posted this review online?" To answer that question, yes, I do. My hope is that my efforts have led to people having amazing nachos. My friend asked me if I went to Mo'Cha Bubble Tea for their nachos, and I said "Yes I went im...
