History

Chili's first location , a converted house on Greenville Ave, in Dallas, Texas, opened on March 13, 1975 by Larry Lavine. The food was so popular that customers often lined up in the parking lot waiting for a table. In 1979, the front porch was enclosed, to allow those waiting to order a margarita, a very profitable and crowd-pleasing decision.^{[citation needed]} At that time the menu consisted almost entirely of burgers, chili, chili tacos and fries.

The song

Chili's (Baby Back Ribs) is a popular advertising jingle used in Chili's Restaurant commercials to advertise the restaurant's line of baby back ribs. The ad features a doo-wop quartet singing a cappella.
