It wasn’t Poy who said it it was some other person

Recently, I realized I still had a question in my head from childhood. “Why is nacho cheese at a restaurant all liquid?” I vaguely assumed it had something to do with keeping it warm enough, but the more I thought about it the less sense that made. So I started a learning journey, and found things both wild and dark in the history of nacho cheese.

First, the answer is sodium citrate. This is the salt equivalent of citric acid, you can make it by mixing citric acid and baking soda, but it’s also very cheap to buy on its own. I paid $6 for 8oz, which will last me for months of nachos, if not more. A simple recipe is 100 : 100 : 7 of cheese, milk, and sodium citrate. The SC binds with the calcium in the cheese, preventing it from thickening.

Amusingly, the chemical name for Sodium Citrate is Na₃C₆H₅O₇. Literally NACHO. But is that a coincidence, or was the snack named by a clever chemist? Turns out, it’s totally coincidental. Nachos were invented by Ignacio Anaya, a maitre’d from Mexico who came up with them on the spot to cover for a missing chef in 1940. “Nacho” is a nickname for Ignacio, and the restaurant started offering “Nacho’s Especial”.

Well that’s neat, but wait. Ignacio melted cheese on tortilla chips, but he didn’t invent liquid cheese. That came about 50 years later, thanks to a man who… doesn’t have a wikipedia page. Perhaps this wasn’t a notable enough invention to warrant an entry? But I found his name, Frank Liberto, so I went to see what I could find.

After inventing “pumpable’” cheese, Frank Liberto organized and paid for the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. Yikes. That’s all. I just think it’s super weird, and I wasn’t expecting such a dark turn. I’m glad I know how to make nacho cheese, I’m glad Ignacio was quick on his feet, and fuck that other guy.
