Note about the Chili's Baby Back Ribs song -- I personally know the woman who sang on the original song in Tom Faulkner's studio. Despite being in such a high-profile commerical, she was never able to capitalize on this. She lives in Dallas today with her two sons, and still receives residuals whenever the original commerical song is played.(2006)01:53, 10 June 2006 70.251.112.27

[edit] Franchise
Is Chili's a franchise? Early in the article it seems to suggest that all Chili's are owned by Brinker's International. I work as a supply manager in the foodservice industry and in my dealings with Chili's, every single one has been owned by Brinker's International. 204.69.40.13 14:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Chili's is owned by Brinker, currently 30 to 35 percent are franchise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.169.95 (talk) 02:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Chili on the Chili's menu
When did Chili's actually start serving Chili? We asked our location in Orlando, Florida a few years ago and they said Chili's didn't serve chili. Last night we went there, and there was chili on the menu with NEW! next to it.. When did they come on the menu?? :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.121.172.155 (talk) 13:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
- Off topic, but which one in Orlando, FL? I live in Orlando, and was simply wondering if I had been to that location :D AquaStreak (talk) 05:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
I ate at the very first Chili's on its first day. It was about 2 miles south of my house, and the owner greeted us and said we were customer number's 23, 24 and 25. He recommended the Chili's Trip, a chili cheeseburger. That was in 1982, not 1975, as the history states. The reason he started Chili's was he was fired from his job as restaurant manager at Howard Johnson's in Arlington, TX. His ideas for changing the restaurant's menu were too radical for the old chain. And, BTW, that first Chili's closed its doors a few months back. And you can't order the "Trip" anymore. cb —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.36.191 (talk) 15:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] History
To clarify my edit of "countries" to "international locations", the U.K. and Australia are considered to be sovereign states and continents, respectively. Carface 08:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
