The first Nacho Quest took place in 2014, when I first recruited a team of random internet strangers to come along on one of my crazy food quests! The plan was to bar hop to every restaurant on Spring Garden Road that served nachos, and score each plate on a list of criteria. Over the last 5 years, I’ve organized […]
We are so close to trying every platter of nachos on the Halifax peninsula and naming the best nachos in Halifax – I can almost taste it! Tastes like cheese, and salt, and spice, and victory! Since 2014 we’ve done our streets: Spring Garden Road, Argyle Street, Brunswick Street, Barrington Street and Quinpool Road. We’ve also done the Waterfront, the […]
The first nacho quest of 2018 kicks off on Quinpool Road, the final neighbourhood to be conquered by the Halifax (Peninsula) Nacho Quest! Today’s questers were: Denton, Halifax ReTales, Laurie Burns, Machzy and Halifax Wingman. Our mission: to find the best nachos on Quinpool Road (and surrounding areas). Quinpool isn’t exactly a bustling bar district, so these were our 4 […]
The goal of the Halifax Nacho Quest is to discover the best nachos in the city. A group of 6-10 participants embark on a pub-crawl-like adventure, tackling one street at a time, and seeking out nachos wherever they may be. We’ve already covered all of downtown and the south end (see all quests here). The north end posed some challenges, […]

If you’re just tuning in, please check out the previous Nacho Quests. Yes, we have already done Spring Garden Road and the Economy Shoe Shop. Here is my report for the Barrington Street Nacho Quest – which also included a bit of Granville Mall. We originally planned on doing the waterfront but a torrential downpour made us opt instead for […]

This past August I embarked on my first nacho quest. I gathered up a powerful nacho team from the Twitterverse, and we hit Spring Garden Road with beers and duo-tangs in hand. You can read about it here. In September I decided it was time to investigate Argyle Street. The Nacho Team for this quest consisted of many of the […]
Since starting this blog in 2012, I have had a solid friend pool who have been very supportive of my crazy food quests (thanks guys!).
