TF?
Thomas Gipson wouldn’t be the basketball player he is today without eating at Chili’s.
Sounds strange, considering the 6-foot-7 forward credits a hard-core diet for his successful junior season at Kansas State. He used to weigh nearly 300 pounds and struggled to jump. Today, he is closing in on 255 pounds and can dunk with ease.
But it’s true. A restaurant known for margaritas and bottomless servings of chips and salsa was a vital stop along the way.
Allow him to explain.
“We had just lost to Georgetown in Puerto Rico, and Coach (oscar) Weber was so mad he didn’t get us food,” Gipson said. “We lost real badly (90-63) and our season was a mess. On the bus ride back to the hotel, I could tell some of the guys were hurting, so I sent a text to the entire team. I told everyone we were going to eat at Chili’s.”
When the Wildcats returned from their calorie-packed meal, K-State coaches realized their gaffe, and that Gipson resolved it. So they called him in for a private chat.
“They said, ‘We need somebody to step up or else our season is going to crumble,’ ” Gipson said. “They told me I had to be a leader. I didn’t want my season to crumble and I didn’t want to let the seniors down, so I said, ‘OK, I will be a leader.’ ”

Frank would have fed the guys, then held a few torture practices.
Bill Self...not so sure. Jayhawks might have had to go hungry and Self would have canceled the new jock dorm.

I did not know Chili's had bottomless chips and salsa.

The rest of the food isn't anything to write home about, but those chips....

I have been to Puerto Rico and the last place I would want to go to is chilis

I too have been to Puerto Rico, so I speak from experience when I say they should have opted for Maggiano's Little Italy, instead.

Back when oscar was feeding the players while overseas, he treated the team to McDonald's in Brazil.

Nothing fuels a D1 athlete more than 6 mcdubs with Mac sauce.

There is no "I" in Chili's. Or there shouldn't be anyway.
-
I think I'm a racist because I was all like, "Seriously? They have Chili's in Puerto Rico?"
-
I think Gip made a good choice.

Agreed. He's been nails since. Mostly.

I'm not sure that's racist. You may just have a weird perception of what a touristy town in puerto rico is like. Also maybe a weird perception of chili's.

if there's a Red Lobster in Belize, of course there's a Chili's in Puerto Rico

two things. First, love that their logo is just a picture of a chili with an apostrophe-s. Like, "I ain't even gotta spell it."

Chili's is way better than Applebee's.
-
There's a Spangle's in Honduras, I drive by it on the way to the dive resort. Have not had the courage to go there, though. Something about private security with M-16's and riot shotguns makes the dining atmosphere less than relaxing. Probably don't have a need for that tight security at a PR Chili's.

Chili's classic nachos are the GNOAT.

At least stop by a Chili's and give us a break down of the demographics eating there. Also, a picture of the menu.
-
I haven't been to a Chili's in a long time, but the one around here had a pretty good burger as I recall.
-
I met Ms. Wackycat there for lunch last week. We noticed they had an amazing HH. Like $2 bottomless chips, $3 wells, and $2 draft beers. I mean, that's not bad you guise.

there's no way you ate 20 dollars worth of chips, no matter how many refills you got.

Oh, you have to pay for the bottomless chips? :surprised:
