Nacho World Record

Guinness World Records dropped in on the town of Billerica, Massachusetts to certify their attempt at creating the world’s largest plate of Nachos. The dish weighed in at a tremendous 3,999 pounds.

The Ninety Nine Restaurant was hard at work on the dish, which included approximately: 1000 pounds of nachos, 920 pounds of cheese, 460 pounds of Southwest cheese sauce, 460 pounds of salsa, 460 pounds of chili, 184 pounds of jalapeño peppers, 92 pounds of diced onions, 418 pounds of sour cream, and 5 pounds of cilantro.

The nachos were cooked with propane torches and stacked in a 70-foot custom-made table. The record was set in order to celebrate nachos returning to the menu as well as raise funds for the Boys and Girl’s Club of Greater Billerica.

Boy, what I would give to be a fly on that wall.
