The Nachoke: Because Artichokes Are Nature’s Worst Idea

Artichokes are proof that nature occasionally makes mistakes. They’re spiky, weirdly textured, and require manual labor just to scrape a mouthful of bland leaf shavings off your teeth. Who decided this was something to eat? It’s basically a survival challenge disguised as an appetizer.

So, naturally, we’ve decided to take that cursed vegetable and do the only logical thing—make it nachos. And better.

Introducing: The Nachoke. Imagine a colossal platter of nachos arranged in the exact layered, spiky shape of an artichoke—but instead of leaves, it's crisp, golden tortilla chips fanned outward like a dangerous, edible bloom. Each chip is coated with melty cheese, tangy salsa, jalapeños, whatever your glorious snack heart desires. And no, you won’t be scraping anything with your teeth like some sort of herbivore.

What’s at the center? Not a fibrous mess you have to dissect—but a molten pool of golden, bubbling cheese. A nacho heart worth fighting for.

Pull each chip off the platter like peeling back petals, uncovering layer after layer of nacho greatness until you reach the cheesy core—kind of like an artichoke, except completely different, tasty, and enjoyable.

So why suffer through bitter greenery when you can have a Nachoke—a structural triumph of crunch, cheese, and common sense?
