Last night I met up with a couple of foodie friends and we started our search for the perfect nachos in Memphis. (They got a jump start on me a few weeks ago, beginning with a plate they described as “glumpy mess” at Huey’s on Poplar at Erin Drive, but last night was my first time out).

We’d planned to go to Belmont, but one of the group had a coupon for Cozymel’s, so we went there. The nachos made a pretty picture, but they ended up with six thumbs down. First, a certain amount of goop is necessary for good nachos, and these were too dry. Plus, they were composed, and we want our nachos diggable. Further, they were on baked flour tortillas, not on corn tortillas.

I remember that R.P. Tracks used to have good nachos, so that’s on our list. And Belmont, which my friend Susie remembers served up a nice dish. We’re talking back in the day here, but we’re hoping both are still good. Where else should we go?
