Ike’s Chili in Tulsa will celebrate its 115th anniversary on Sept. 9 with a car cruise, coney-eating contest, live music and giveaways.
The restaurant at 1503 E. 11th St. (aka Route 66) will hold the event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day.
Ike’s will include a mini-chili cheese coney and a soda, both for $1.15.
Ike’s posted some details on Facebook:
Ike’s opened in downtown Tulsa in 1908, one year after Oklahoma gained statehood.
That also is almost 20 years before U.S. 66 was federally commissioned.
