National Nacho Day a huge success at 4th Street Brewing

Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Mon, 2009-11-09 09:11

On Nov. 9, 4th Street Brewing in Gresham celebrated National Nacho Day today with the city's first nacho eating contest.

The brewery's restaurant and bar were packed with people coming to watch the festivities and eat nachos for $1. The three contestants (all brothers), Michael, Chris and Brian Gonzales attempted to polish off 5 pounds of nachos with cheese and liberal amount of jalapenos in the 8-minute time limit. The contest was a close call, but Michael pulled ahead at the last minute, finishing off 3.5 pounds of his 5 pound nacho plate.

Whether it's the dive down the street with the killer steaks, the fancy place with the wine glasses and soothing music in the background or just a tiny little shack that serves up a mean hamburger, share your favorite spot to get some grub.
