Description

La deliciosa historia real de un chef inventivo y los eventos casuales que llevaron a la creación del bocadillo favorito del mundo: ¡los nachos!

Presentamos a Ignacio (Nacho) Anaya. De niño le encantaba comer y cocinar. Cuando creció trabajó en restaurantes, incluyendo el Club Victoria, un sitio popular cercano a la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.

En una tarde de 1940, una cliente asidua llegó con unas amigas. Quería una botana. Algo nuevo, algo especial. Nacho corrió a la cocina e improvisó con los ingredientes que tenía a la mano. En ese momento de inspiración, ¡Nacho hizo historia! Aquí tienes la sabrosa y verdadera historia de un creativo chef mexicano y la exquisita botana que le encanta a comensales entusiastas de todo el mundo. Es tiempo de saborear Los nachos de Nacho.
