From there it quickly grew in popularity to what it is today.<br /><br />There may have been an isolated cart or two before then (I have no idea), but it sounds like the churro craze started in the mid-80s.K.

No doubt they were sold right there - at Yumz. A first-hand account definitely places them there (DL) by 1987. The mid-80's does seem to have a ring of truth about it.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21545327054848331532013-02-19T08:56:22.114-08:002013-02-19T08:56:22.114-08:00Nanook, what about black jumpsuits?

It's one of my rules.<br /><br />Mike, when I made the comment about the churros, I wondered the same thing… I'm sure they weren't around in the 60's, and to be honest I am surprised that they were there as early as 1975. And I appreciate the fact that you are way cool!<br /><br />Melissa, somebody with a neuralyzer will be visiting you very very soon. <br /><br />JG, like you, I am one of the people who loves IASW.
