Manage episode 479878466 series 3461325
🌶️ Chili’s: They Started in a Post Office?? 🌶️
Chili’s. For nearly 50 years, it’s been slinging margaritas, sizzling skillets, and vibes that are somehow both flirty and corporate. In this episode, actress and podcast 3-timers guest club VyVy Nguyen is back to explore the surprisingly spicy history of this chain restaurant icon with me — from its post office origins to its entanglement with The Office, N*SYNC, and the internet’s horniest Vine.
Was Chili’s always this unhinged, just waiting for us to notice?
🌮 The “Fajita Effect”: Why One Order Sets the Whole Restaurant Off 🎶 Baby Back Ribs & the Jingle That Haunts Your Soul 📬 From Post Office to Powerhouse — How Chili’s Mailed It In and Still Won America Over 🍹 Margarita Madness: 13 Swimming Pools Worth a Year 🤖 The Vine That Chili's Declared One of its Most Important Moments Ever 📺 Jim & Pam’s First Kiss Was Where?! 😳 N*SYNC Gets Crushed by a Crate (But Harmonizes First) 🍽️ Chili’s Triple Dipper: A Flight of Fried Foods for the Indecisive Diner 🍽️
💬 COMMENT BELOW: What’s your favorite Chili’s menu item? Or is it all about the vibe (and the molten lava cake)?
