The Chiko Roll was developed by Frank McEncroe, a boilermaker from Bendigo, Victoria, who turned his clever hands to catering at football matches and other outdoor events. In 1950, McEncroe saw a competitor selling Chinese-style chop suey rolls outside the Richmond Cricket Ground. It was here that his craftsman's mind saw an opportunity. What we do know is that Chiko Rolls remain a pop culture icon. They're a popular snack at sporting events, and are still widely available at fish and chip shops and supermarkets across Australia. They're a part of Australia's history that everyone fondly remembers, everyone wants to claim, and everyone wants to be a part of. Chiko; a true legendary icon.
