01:05It was on our dream board.
01:06It was!
01:07What?
01:08We saw that coming.
01:09We manifested Chee-Cheese.
01:10We can do anything!
01:11Chee-Cheese!
01:12You can't!
01:13You can do it!
01:14You can do it!
01:15Together we can do it!
01:16Has Chee-Cheese thought this through?
01:18I don't know!
01:19It's incredible!
01:20The son of Chee-Cheese!
01:22The son of Chee-Cheese?
01:23Oh!
01:24The son of Chee-Cheese?
01:25He's bringing it back!
01:26The Chee-Cheese air!
01:27The Chee-Cheese air!
01:28I thought the restaurant was going to be like, son of Chee-Cheese!
01:30No, no!
01:31That would be awesome!
01:32Son of Chee-Cheese?
01:33Yeah!
01:34We're going to son of Chee-Cheese tonight!
01:35Incredible!
01:36This guy here, the Mexican restaurant chain Chee-Cheese is making a comeback after closing
01:4020 years ago.
01:41He's our hero!
01:42Yeah!
01:43He is!
01:44Yeah!
01:45Chee-Cheese was always solid!
01:46It was so good!
01:47Oh, man!
01:48I have many solid Chee-Cheese memories!
01:49Me too!
01:50I didn't know it just closed 20 years ago!
01:52I thought it was a long time ago!
01:53More than that!
01:54I thought it was like 30 years ago!
01:55The final one!
01:56The final!
01:57The last hangers on!
01:59The last Chee-Cheese!
02:00Yeah!
02:01I feel like I have some probably in that 25 years ago Chee-Cheese memories!
02:09Look at it!
02:10I forgot!
02:11It's just like it was!
02:12Do they have the sombreros?
02:13I hope so!
02:14I hope so!
02:15That's gross now!
02:16They have to!
02:17Oh, yeah!
02:18They put them on you, right?
02:19Oh, yeah!
02:20They put you on your birthday!
02:21Are you having a celebration?
02:22They come around!
02:23I don't know if they can do that anymore because everyone's going to cancel them!
02:25That's so...
02:26What if they just put a little...
02:27Cultural misappropriation?
02:28Oh, come on!
02:29Is it?
02:30I don't know!
02:31That's what...
02:32We're all...
02:33Everything is different!
02:34Everything is different!
02:35Latin in there!
02:36We're all Latin in there?
02:37In where?
02:38In Chee-Cheese!
02:39In Chee-Cheese!
02:40Yeah!
02:41When you walk in the door!
02:42We never let go of Chee-Cheese!
02:44Okay!
02:45No, we really didn't!
02:46Look at those chairs!
02:47Yeah!
02:48This guy says, we've seen the impact our restaurant has had on individuals and families across
02:51the country, and we believe there's a strong opportunity to bring it back in a way that
02:55resonates with today's consumer with an updated dining experience, but with the same great
03:00taste, Mexican flavors, and memories.
03:02I spent my childhood in Chee-Cheese.
03:04I had some birthdays there.
03:05Yeah!
03:06I remember being such a little fat kid that I asked them for several burritos, not knowing
03:10that a whole burrito is a meal.
03:12Keep them coming!
03:13You want three meals?
03:14You want three meals?
03:15That's right!
03:16Deep-fried ice cream blew my little Irish cream!
03:18That was it!
03:19My Irish mind was blown!
03:20That was so good!
03:21The fajitas!
03:22The fajitas!
03:23Sizzle, sizzle!
03:24Watch that plate!
03:25Here it comes!
03:26Watch that plate!
03:27It's hot!
03:28That plate is hot!
03:29So the son of Chee-Cheese actually did his own restaurant chains himself.
03:36He built Kona Grill and Rojo Mexican Grill.
03:40Okay.
03:41They say they closed in 2004 after declaring bankruptcy in the wake of a hepatitis A outbreak
03:47at a Pennsylvania location that was traced to green onions.
03:50I'm sorry.
03:51I'm sorry.
03:52I'm just letting you know what happened.
03:53It's always a chance you take.
03:54Hepatatus.
03:55Hepatatus!
03:56It's like a hot potato!
03:57I got that hepatitis!
03:58Oh!
03:59Throw me that hot potato!
04:00No!
04:01Hepatitis!
04:02Hepatitis!
04:03I meant to say!
04:04Hepatitis!
04:05Hepatitis!
04:06Pass it on!
04:07Hepatitis!
04:08Pass it on!
04:09Hepatitis!
04:10Pass it on!
04:11Hepatitis!
04:12Pass it on!
04:14It's a hot!
04:15Hot hepatitis!
04:17That's a great horrible game!
04:19Yeah!
04:20It's kind of like what you play!
04:21It is!
04:22It really is!
04:23It's kind of like how it actually works!
04:24Hepatitis!
04:25Pass it on!
04:26Hepatitis!
04:27He passed on the hepatitis!
04:28Uh-huh!
04:29The menu!
04:30I like the fact that this guy has had successful restaurant chains!
04:33Yeah!
04:34That's what he's doing!
04:35He knows how to do it!
04:36That's promising!
04:37They'll do a slow rollout probably, but you guys this will take off!
04:40Like TikTok will be all over this, right?
04:42Oh yeah!
04:43They'll all be going to Chi Chi's!
04:44You gotta take your kids to Chi Chi's you guys!
04:46Oh absolutely!
04:47Oh man!
04:48You gotta take your memories!
04:49My kids won't eat anything there!
04:50My kids won't eat anything there!
04:51Why?
04:52They won't?
04:53No!
04:54My kids love Mexican!
04:55Really?
04:56They won't touch it!
04:57Yeah!
04:58This is a wild day!
04:59It is a wild day!
05:00I'll take random other people's kids!
05:01Oh that is creepy!
05:02Don't do that!
05:03Let's make memories!
05:04Take your kids to Chi Chi's!
05:06Take all of Rowan's friends!
05:07Hot potatoes!
05:08Come on guys!
05:09Let's get hepatitis together!
05:12Jesus!
05:13Don't ever say that!
05:14That's all weird!
05:15But yeah!
05:16So we'll look for this in the coming year!
05:18I didn't expect that!
05:192025!
05:20Yeah!
05:21It just shows you like to never let go, you know?
05:24Hope!
05:25You're right!
05:26Will we go really?
05:27I will!
05:28Absolutely I will!
05:29Well I know what will happen!
05:30Okay!
05:31Like if we want to get...
05:32No!
05:33Don't!
05:34Don't rain!
05:35You're going to say it will be like it's not that great!
05:37It won't be that great!
05:38Twinkie?
05:39Because I have Twinkie let downs!
05:40Yeah!
05:41From childhood to adulthood!
05:42When you revisit a Twinkie, it's like come on!
05:45It's dry!
05:46What happened to you?
05:47It's like yeah!
05:48So I hope that's not the case here!
05:50I've never had Chi Chi's!
05:51Right!
05:52You literally shut down!
05:53You have no passion for this!
05:54No!
05:55You don't care!
05:56And now it means this reaction here!
05:57You didn't grow up with Chi Chi's!
05:58It's like it should be the greatest thing I've ever had in my life!
06:01No!
06:02I feel like I shouldn't even eat it!
06:03You were too young for Chi Chi's?
06:04I guess!
06:05I don't know!
06:06It just wasn't part of the deal!
06:07Yeah!
06:08Like whatever just happened in there!
06:12I don't know!
06:13Come on!
06:14Come on!
06:15I'm like where am I?
06:16I'm in a different year!
06:17I walked into something!
06:18It's like Chi Chi's!
06:19Yeah!
06:20Woo!
06:21We were way too excited!
06:22We were way too excited!
06:23We're building it up too much for people who have never been there!
06:25I mean it was just a childhood thing for us!
06:26Hey whatever!
06:27Screw them!
06:28Yeah!
06:29Yeah that's true!
06:30I mean I'm excited!
06:31Like yeah!
06:32Get us sombrero on!
06:33And it sounds like burritos are good!
06:34Yeah!
06:35Chimichangas!
06:36Delicious!
06:37They had good chimichangas!
06:38Fried ice cream!
06:39Oh yeah!
06:40Yeah!
06:41It was ridiculous!
06:42It was!
06:43Oh yeah!
06:44It was so good!
06:45And you don't see it a lot!
06:46No!
06:47I don't see fried ice cream offered a lot of places!
06:48No!
06:49I do think that what it is though is there's a time and I think you need to be young to have
06:58it really affect you the way that it has affected you guys especially!
07:03A lot of nostalgia there!
07:04Yeah!
07:05I mean there was like celebrations like I think when I graduated we went to Chi Chi's!
07:09Yeah!
07:10We didn't have big parties!
07:11We're like yeah let's go to everybody go to Chi Chi's!
07:13Yeah!
07:14I remember it being a treat!
07:15It was kind of sad I guess but that was fun!
07:16It was a treat but I think it was still fairly affordable for the family!
07:20Yeah!
07:21It wasn't high end!
07:22So that was a big draw!
07:23You could go out to a nice place have a nice Mexican meal and still not break the bank!
07:27A lot of birthdays celebrated there!
07:29I'll try and bring my parents back!
07:30I don't know if my stepdad will like it too much anymore!
07:32He might be like yeah!
07:33But my mom might like it!
07:34Yeah!
07:35Give her a margarita!
07:36Yeah!
07:37They do have the margaritas!
07:38She used to like those!
07:39But if one opens up around here we're going!
07:41For sure!
07:42That definitely looks like the old menu right there!
07:43That is for sure the old menu that he's framed!
07:45I hope I hope they just it'd be wild if it was just like bam!
07:49There's your childhood right there!
07:50Bam!
07:51Yeah!
07:52Yeah!
07:53We need we're so sad these days anything makes us happy!
07:57My concern will be that people will go one time!
08:00Get that little taste of childhood and then be like okay I'm good!
08:04Yeah!
08:05That's what happens!
08:06That's what will happen!
08:07Yeah!
08:08I mean it's not going to be a cheat sheet!
08:09Unless it's amazing!
08:10Unless they make it amazing!
08:11Then you got me!
08:12Well I think what will really count is if it's affordable!
08:15Yeah you're right!
08:16They can make it affordable!
08:17Affordable!
08:18And no diarrhea!
08:19Yeah!
08:20Well you're going to get a bit of diarrhea!
08:21No hot potatoes!
08:22Yeah!
08:23No diarrhea!
08:24And affordable!
08:25No hot potatoes!
08:26Doctor says I got the hot potatoes!
08:29Yeah!
08:30Someone passed it on!
08:32They definitely can't afford another!
08:34No they can't!
08:35Another bout of that!
08:36No!
08:37Thank you!
08:38Do what I can't afford for!
08:40No!
