Men’s Luncheon

The men will be served a “Petro”. What is a Petro?
The theme of the 1982 World’s Fair was Energy, and the food vendor with the longest lines served what was first called a “Petroleum Belly” and quickly shortened to the “Petro,” a sliced open bag of Frito’s piled high with chili and toppings.
