Around the World in Totchos
Well, I know what I want to do the next six Mondays … check this news release out from Lompoc!
The Oaks Bottom Public House, a Lompoc pub in the Westmoreland neighborhood of SE Portland, has long been recognized as the place in the city to order Totchos – nachos made with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. Starting Monday, January 23, Oaks Bottom will present “Totchos of the World,” a six-week culinary journey exploring the crispy, crunchy snack.
Oaks Bottom traditionally serves a Tex Mex version of Totchos in a volcanic mound of piping-hot tater tots covered with cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, olives and onions, and topped with sour cream and a crater full of salsa.
Every Monday, from Jan. 23 to Feb. 27, Oaks Bottom will feature a new culinary Totcho treat from a different country on its menu. Executive chef Mike Parmenter has come up with Totcho recipes inspired by cuisine from Italy, Cuba, Jamaica, India, Peru and Spain. The flavor of the week will be available Monday through Sunday for the six-week period.
The first week’s order comes with a passport. The pub will stamp your passport for every country’s flavor you try. Patrons who collect all six stamps will receive a free large order of regular Totchos and a pint of Lompoc beer.
Oaks Bottom is located at 1621 SE Bybee Blvd. For more information, visit www.lompocbrewing.com or call 503-232-1728.
