Meet the duo behind Nacho Bizness.

Gourmet nachos. Two words you’d never think to pair together. Ah, but this is an era of upscale tater tots and fine dining grilled cheese, so why not?

“We’ve made people rethink a food that’s always been perceived as a ballpark snack,” explains Nacho Bizness co-owner Brittani Reid-Bristol.

Since its debut nearly two years ago, this little spot next to the Bulldog British Pub in Monterey has cultivated quite the following.

Weekly: What do you say to upscale nacho naysayers?

BRB: We’ve made Brie nachos with caramelized onions and pork belly. What’s not “luxury” about that? Just because it’s on a chip? I’d describe our nachos as artisanal, gourmet nachos because everything is made from scratch. We put a lot of care into making sure that what we’re serving, every bite of it, is tasty.

What’s been the most unusual Saturday special?

BRB: The musubi nachos with Spam, ginger pico [de gallo] and wasabi cheese. They were delicious and well received.

The most popular?

SM: Mac and cheese.

BRB: Every version of them. The most popular one was the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos mac and cheese.

Your favorite?

BRB: The Filipino special with adobo pork and lumpia.

SM: The banh mi one, with hoisin pork and slaw with cucumber, lemongrass, and carrot.

Who does your social media posts?

BRB: The posts we put out, we don’t show to one another, we just post them.

SM: Because we think we can one up each other.

BRB: To see who gets the better reaction. It’s two best friends trying to make each other laugh.
