A Brief History of Nachos

Nachos have a backstory, and you can flash it out the next time you're elbow-deep in nachos with your friends. Because you crush at food trivia.
There really was a guy nicknamed Nacho who invented nachos. His name was Ignacio Anaya, and he was the maitre d' at the El Moderno restaurant in Piedras Negras on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
One day in 1943, a group of wives from the Eagle Pass military base on the Texas side of the river came in for a bite, but the cook had stepped away. So Nacho donned the apron himself, and using what he found in the kitchen — tortillas, cheese, and jalapeños — he whipped up a a pile of mmm mmm good, earning him and it a spot in Snacktown's Hall of Fame. (If there really was one, Nacho's nachos would be in it.)
Mark your calendars to celebrate National Nachos Day on November 6.
