all that Fiesta food is right around the
corner and it's also spring sports
season
I mean what's better watching the game
with some popcorn plate and nachos we
have one of the folks who makes these
nachos with us today the world-famous
nachos yes that's right Tony Lippett all
right president and CEO of Rico's
products is here today and we can find
your products just about everywhere yes
you can you can find it in a lot of
different retail outlets of course all
the movie theaters across the United
States we have about 75 percent of the
movie theater screens in the u.s. using
our products we also have a bunch of
ballpark stadiums arenas both on the
professional level at the college level
of the minor league level and we're also
with a lot of retail outlets all across
the United States in all 50 states
ok we are making today the world-famous
the original world-famous Rico's nachos
that my dad invented in 1976 who served
at Ranger Stadium with Texas Rangers
played ball and he served it because he
felt like this would be a new item for
the concession stand cuz I had thought
that it was just can't open and then you
heat that up but you got to mix it with
a little bit of the juice such a
successful recipe ok because you're
adding about another 50% of free
ingredients to serving a serving of
nachos and it didn't cost the operator
anything why and also it makes a lot
creamier so if it starts to cool down
just a little bit and then what you do
is you take that and you can either put
it in a microwave or in a crock-pot and
then I mean it's just liquid gold on top
of there and what's interesting the
story you said that initially
concessions didn't want to serve in
extra food because they had the popcorn
at the cells of the popcorn of the
hotdogs and they thought that that would
take away from the sales of popcorn and
hot dogs mm-hmm this actually increased
sales of both popcorn and hot dogs and
beverages beer and soda because of that
little ingredient the jalapeno pepper
you got that you get that kick and that
spice starts growing in your mouth and
you got to go back to the cassette
Stannah order something else like oh I
need popcorn oh and he's gonna wash it
down with just enough of a jalapeno on
there and oh that is on the screen there
for our viewers because this is
something that you can make at home
because yes you go to the concession
stands and you can get your fix there
but at home if you want to make this
recipe correct pretty quick and easy you
can make every game a home game he's
like what was like what we like to say
love that can't get to the ballpark of
the movie
something you can go buy our product at
the retail areas across the United
States mix this up in your own kitchen
and make it a home game at your house
and the nice thing about you know

want to eat and you can find this and
chips and it's just such a satisfying
little snack at home to prepare and
