$10 Nacho Tour in Williamsburg on Sunday

This is getting some serious love from me mostly because of its stance on the delicious “cheese” sauce that formed the landscape for Primus’ “Sailing the Seas of Cheese” :  “if you are using the sauce, don’t pretend it is real.”   Equally appropriate for  Cool Whip and the tans of
