Frank Liberto, known as The Father of Nachos

Nachos popularized Nachos when he brought his
version of the dish to the concession stand in 1976
at a Texas Rangers baseball game in Arlington,
Texas.

He created the pump-able consistency of the

orangey-gooey goodness we see today or commonly
known ascheese sauce.
Nachos

Frank Liberto came up with the idea of

warming up a can of cheese sauce, ladling it
over the chips and then sprinkling jalapeos
on top.
This snack was an immediate success: That
season Arlington Stadium sold Ricos nachos
at the rate of one sale per every two-and-a-
half patronsover $800,000 in sales.
Popcorn, which previously had the highest
sales, only sold to one in 14 patrons for a
total of $85,000.
 Nachos Fever

By 1978, the spicy snack became

available at the Dallas Cowboys stadium,
where iconic Monday Night Football
announcer Howard Cosell would put
nachos on the map. Cosell, a household
name for football fans, sat alongside
Frank Gifford and Don Meredith giving
viewers the play-by-play, when a plate of
nachos was brought to the broadcast
room.
Ricos Nachos

Today Ricos sells product to 57

countries and works with more than
200 distributors worldwide. Since the
early 80s the company has
dominated the movie theater
concession industry and now families
can make every game a home game
when they take a portion-controlled
pack home to enjoy.
