Chocolate Éclairs & Onion Rings

Get ready to celebrate National Chocolate Éclair Day and National Onion Rings Day tomorrow. Did you know that the word “éclair” comes from a French word meaning “flash of lightning?” With the slogan ‘ America ’s Motor Lunch,’ the nation’s first drive-in restaurant founded in 1921 along the Dallas-Fort Worth Highway, The Pig Stand, claims to have invented deep-fried onion rings. A & W, another drive-in restaurant, made them popular in the 1960s.
