The Main Gang

Aloha, as my Hawaiian friends say! Okay, I really don’t have any Hawaiian friends, that was a bad joke.

I must tell you about this amazing feast of carbs and cheese I had tonight. There was also guac, salsa, and sour cream. They are the Utopian Nachos and they are the best nachos you can get your hands on.

The place has a real indie vibe, and almost like a ‘we’re too cool to care about you’ feel, which perhaps works in their favour because it just feels like a father who was never really there, but you know he loves you, right?

It’s really dark, and I’m pretty sure no one but me saw the couple necking in the back of the restaurant. Okay, maybe the people next to them too, but that is beside the point.

The beer on special tonight was a boho something-or-other.  It was light, frothy, and well, it paired perfectly with the Utopian Nachos that I was talking about earlier.  I need to talk more about these, because seriously, you could just not eat for days, come here, order the small, and be filled up! I’ve never wanted to take a bath in nachos until I tried these.

A pitcher of Boho and some glorious Utopian Nachos!

Going back to drinks, beer in only the beginning here. After that, I moved on to a pitcher of sangria, which was just so colourful, and icy.  It was like almost forgetting the three degees temperature outside, and transporting me back to New Zealand Summer temperatures.

To finish, may I suggest the sugar pie?

It is an experience that brings me back to home baked goods.  It’s like having an entire slice of a butter tart. It is a buttery confection that is so good, it truly has to have some health benefits, right? Okay, maybe just health benefits for the soul.

I think my favourite thing about this place is the fact that it’s open until 2AM, so it really does satisfy those late night cravings for nachos, sangria, sugar pie, or the stoned guy making your nachos and putting way too much cheese on, but I won’t be complaining about any of this.  In fact, these are the things that make The Foundation so loveable.

Go eat, drink, and be merry at this place, friends!
