All this info Teresa has been sending has made me wonder, and, no, I haven't gotten to read everything she's posted, yet... has anyone heard of or does anyone remember hearing about a 'chili joint' in the Waco area? Probably more likely in or close to China Spring, McLennan, Texas? Seems like I heard my grandmother (when my dad taped her telling about her childhood and young adult years) tell of her grandfather (Jonathan Crowson or Capt. J. O. 'James Owen' Hawkins) owning a 'chili joint' in the 20s or 30s I think. Just curious, Nancy
