I'm posting here because i know where they originated, because I'm the first one to order them it would be easy to prove it.
It was in 1977 or 78 I was 17 and 18, I moved furniture and most of our work was @ Barksdale AFB in Bossier City La., every day we would eat lunch @ the bowling alley cafe, I was a teenager never had much money I ate fries most of the time, one day I asked the lady behind the counter to put some chili on them she said (chili), after that all of us started to order it next thing I know its on the menu, the lady that gave me that order still lives here and after 30 years she seen me and knew who i was right away.
How to prove it ask the base bowling alley cafe for the earliest reciet they have on selling them, after that the world will know
