Chili's first restaurant

Chili's Grill & Bar is a restaurant chain founded by Larry Lavin in 1975. Lavin opened his first chili’s  location in Dallas, Texas. He created an informal, full-service dining restaurant with a menu featuring different types of hamburgers offered at an affordable price. In the early 1980s Lavin had opened 28 Chili's locations in the united states. In 1983, Lavine sold the company to restaurant executive Norman E. Brinker, formerly of the Pillsbury restaurant group. Chili's now has nearly 1,400 locations all over the united states,as well as in 30 international locations.
