Weird History Food: The Unexpected and Untold Chronicles of Food

The Disappearance of the Biggest Mexican Restaurant from the '80s

Listen Later

Imagine it’s a Friday night in 1987, and you're sporting your best acid-washed jeans with a bold Frankie Says Relax shirt. Your date's hair is styled to perfection with Aqua Net, and you've just settled into a red vinyl booth at Chi-Chi’s, enjoying a basket of complimentary chips and a cold, syrupy margarita as big as a birdbath.

Chi-Chi’s wasn't just any eatery; it was where Midwest families went to indulge in a bit of spice.
