The Chili Queens return

Before the health department shut them down in the 1930s, the Chili Queens haunted the downtown San Antonio nights with their spicy fare. This weekend -- and on every Memorial Day weekend -- they return to Market Square.

From Wikipedia:

They would appear at dusk, building charcoal or wood fires to reheat cauldrons of pre-cooked chili, selling it by the bowl to passers-by. The aroma was a potent sales pitch, aided by Mariachi street musicians, who joined in to serenade the eaters.

Mmmmm.
