The Workshop's Smoked Nachos

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | March 9, 2024

Lunch is back on the board at The Workshop Brewing Co. in Traverse City, and it’s nacho typical soup and salad combo! The menu is all about comfort fare, and the heaping Smoked Nachos ($14) are a must. Picture this: a base of crunchy corn chips piled high with melty cheddar-jack cheese, house tomatillo salsa, sour cream, and Cowboy Caviar (ingredients: black beans, veggies, corn, and chili pepper). Smokey and savory with a touch of sweetness, these bad boys pair beautifully with a layer of protein—try the barbeque jackfruit and thank us later—and some palette-cleansing suds, like the Shop Light lager, to wash it all down. Dig into a stack at 211 Garland Street in Traverse City. (And stay tuned for food truck plans at their sister spot, Kingsley Local Brewing!) traversecityworkshop.com
