Are you up for an American gastronomical experience like no other? Perhaps you want something filling, something truly spectacular that you can be sure you’ll be coming back for more? Well, then, look no further – Chili’s is definitely the best place to satisfy your cravings for delicious and exciting American cuisine!
A Snapshot on Chili’s History
Conceptualized and founded by Larry Levine in 1975, Chili’s originally was supposed to be an informal yet full-service dining restaurant that served different types of hamburgers at an affordable or reasonable price. Levine’s original concept did prove to be a success, with 28 Chilis locations spread all throughout the Texas region.
Considering the location, a Southwest décor was implemented in the restaurants. Additionally, the first Chili’s restaurant, which was originally a post office on Greenville Ave. (found in the Vickery Meadows area, Dallas), was converted into a hip and popular diner – talk about innovation!
But let’s discuss more about the food – after all, this is what makes Chili’s great! Even throughout all these years, Chili’s has constantly pushed the envelope in crafting and cooking great dishes for customers. And the even more impressive factor in this is that this restaurant has still managed to retain the honest and true-to-good quality of what makes its food awesome, by retaining that authentic Tex-Mex style cuisine!
