The Nachobears team ventured to Zipps in Chandler this weekend. Big fat bummer on the loss. Vikings rank right up there with Green Bay as sucky teams to beat the Bears. I hate it when the Bears lose to them. All in all it was a good game and of course my guy Hester didn’t disappoint. Hester tied Gale Sayers record on Sunday following his eighth career return TD. (we all knew that was coming). Usually we complain about the offense but this week I get to pick on Urlacher and bunch. Bears defense needs to STEP IT UP! To quote Homer Simpson: “They were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.” Ok, maybe we're a little too harsh. Its just that we care about the Bears so much.Before you go to Zipps, you should be aware of the RULES. And Zipps has A LOT of rules.
1. NO sitting at a good table unless you are a party of 3 or more.
2. NO ordering nachos before 11am
3. NO changing the tv stations so you can see the game you want.
4. NO ordering beer in a timely fashion.
Ok, number 4 really isn’t a “rule” per say but it irks me none-the-less.
Check out the game menu. Notice anything missing? A Conspicuous Lack of Nachos!!
No chips till 11AM.-(see Rule #2.)Anyway, the Nachobears team grew by 5 people this week. We had to move to 3 different times to 3 different tables to accommodate everyone. Even tho when we first arrived at Zipps, we informed them that we would have a large group. But because of rule #1 we were not seated at a big enough table to start with. So on to musical tables. Not every seat in the house at Zipps has good viewing. Some tables are right under the tv and others are obstructed by big pillars.
Our View From Table 1 We started out with 2 people and had to sit directly under the big screen tv. When a 3rd member showed up we were able to move to one of the bigboy tables BUT our view was blocked by a pillar. Soon the other 4 people arrived and we were then allowed to move to the large table on the floor with excellent views of the game.
We missed about 15 minutes of gametime whilst table-jockeying.
It makes it very difficult to want to go to Zipps when you have a snotty waitress telling you NO every time you ask for something. The waitresses, along with being taskmasters, were very hard to find. Empty Beer +No Waitress.=Unhappy Nachobear fan. We all know the best nachos in the world may as well be roof shingles without the suds.
On to the sad, little nachos served at Zipps. OK, they aren’t all bad. Recipe: 1. Pile some chips, 2. scoop some toppings on it, 3. brown in oven for 30 seconds. See for yourself:

We managed to pull a few good ones out of the pile. In fact, the guacamole was quite good and the salsa added a little zip (heh heh); but the ground beef was scarce and the flimsy chips couldn’t hold the toppings. 
We needed forks to eat these…um, not my idea of a good nacho expierence. When you add forks as a requirement, you are closer to tortilla soup than you are to crunchy nachos. Oh yeah, and No jalapenos! Again. What is with the no jalapenos thing?! This is Arizona, right? We might have to start bringing our own.
Nachos -2.0 –chips too flimsy and no jalapenos.
Waitstaff -1.5-she was never around.
Beers 3.0-when full, they did the job.
Price-2.5, however, excellent since someone else paid!
Overall-2.5
Where, oh where, will the Nachobears team find good nachos and good watchin'? Will the Bears come back this season? Where are the jalapenos? These questions and more answered next week!!!
