Chi-Chis was my go to Friday night hangout. A friend was a bartender so we drank all night for free and left a big tip. They had good queso.

The homo “stick it in” crap and the prices also doomed them.

But, they actually had good subs. They killed subway in taste, but they couldn’t manage with prices.

My apologies, blasphemy was not intended. But McDonald’s did have “That’s Amore” in the ads for the silly pizza.

So where was the rest of the article on MSN? I went there and saw the usual small blurb but nothing more.
A&W was the only one mentioned. Anyone remember Minnie Pearl’s Fried Chicken? or Sandy’s Hamburgers?
My personal favorite hamburger was GEORGE AND JOHN’S in Farmington NM back in 1973-1977.
Then McDonald’s opened down the street and people went to the cheaper poor tasting burger.
