A couple of years ago, several of us were headed for Vegas and in the airport here in Lubbock, this guy who worked for Sonic was flirting with my friend Christy and told her he invented the term winner, winner chicken dinner. We knew it was a come on but he was pretty amusing. Then today I watched a movie called '21' and they said the term was 40 years old. So then I wondered where it came from so I Googled it. According to Askville at Amazon.com, it is a casino term. Here is there explanation and it sounds good toAnswers:
Years ago every Las Vegas casino had a 3 piece chicken dinner with potato and veggie for $1.79. A standard bet back then was $2.00, hence when you won a bet you had enough for a chicken dinner. So now you know the rest of the story. me, true or not.
No confirmation that restaurant was Sonic...
