Nachos for All: A Cheesy Inauguration

It’s a shame that National Cheese Lover’s Day falls on Inauguration Day, isn’t it? While the political stage gets its parades, speeches, and over-the-top ceremonies, poor cheese gets stuck playing “Vice President.” But we refuse to let cheese—and nachos—be overshadowed. Let’s give them their moment in the spotlight, because if anything embodies the spirit of unity, it’s a plate of perfectly layered nachos.

Think about it: nachos and Inauguration Day have a lot in common. For starters, both thrive on layers. Just as a strong government is built on collaboration, nachos succeed when each layer supports the next. It’s not enough to dump cheese on top and call it a day—real nachos require structural integrity. Chips, cheese, toppings, repeat. Same goes for leadership: without a solid foundation, the whole thing crumbles.

Then there’s the idea of coming together to create something greater. Inauguration Day symbolizes a new start, where leaders promise to unite different perspectives (even if history suggests otherwise). Nachos actually deliver on that promise. Spicy jalapeños, creamy guacamole, tangy salsa, and melty cheese don’t just coexist—they collaborate to make something extraordinary. If politicians worked half as well as nacho toppings, the world would be a much tastier place.

And let’s not forget: both offer a glimpse of what’s to come. Inauguration Day promises the next four years of leadership (for better or worse), while nachos guarantee the next four minutes will be filled with cheesy joy, spicy hope, and the satisfaction of a snack that never disappoints. Nachos don’t need a campaign—they win by being themselves.

So here’s a proposal: while the world watches Inauguration Day unfold, don’t forget to honor the unsung hero of today—nachos. Melted cheese cascading over crispy chips, a sprinkle of cilantro for flair, and maybe even a dollop of sour cream for balance. Because if nachos can bring us together, maybe there’s hope for everything else, too.
