Nacho Cheese?

What is it with this town and their obsession with nachos?? I am positive there is all of one person south of the south-south border (they call south of the border here the United States. I mean Mexico). And yet, every single restaurant has nachos on the menu that each promotes as the best nachos in Halifax -- even the Irish pubs. So much so that the local free paper here in town (kinda like the Flagpole in Athens or Creative Loafing in Atlanta) had a section on where to eat in Halifax this month and there was a whole entry dedicated to the best nachos. For the record, it's Economy Shoe Shop. They even had a half page article on nachos. Really? I'm going to have to try these nachos. Coming from Atlanta which has great Mexican food on every other block, I'll have to put them to the test. I know nachos. I have had many a drunken nacho fest. I feel like I would be more than capable of being a judge here. While I am not as experienced as Deanna and some of my other Mexican-food aficionado friends, I am the most qualified in Halifax by a long shot. Any suggestions on what my judging criteria should be?

For the record, my roommate's friend Ashley says that the nachos at the Wooden Monkey where she works are the best. I say false, and I haven't even tried them. Since they only use local products and avocados are not local to the area, they don't have guacamole. I said this already. While I appreciate their eco-world-Canada friendly agenda, they can never be the best nachos without guacamole. You can pick it off or not order it if you don't like it, but it at least has to be available. A for effort; F for follow through.
