It's one of the most iconic photographs in all of sports.

John Carlos and Tommy Smith, two African American sprinters, standing atop the three tiered Olympic

podium wearing golden bronze medals, gloved fist raised in black-power salutes.

The third figure in the photograph? A white Australian named Peter Norman, the silver

medalist, who helped plan the act of defiance and wore a pro-civil rights badge during the

anthem. All three athletes were swiftly and severely punished for their silent political

protest, yet their legacies proved more enduring than the medals it cost them.

The setting? Mexico City, 1968. And today in 2016 amidst another time of racial strife,

the Olympic Games again take place in Latin America, while the ugliest US presidential

election of our lifetimes is waged over Hispanic immigration. Yet in the intervening decades,

took place the rapid ascent of Mexican American cuisine. And today, the list of the top 100

chain restaurants in the US includes an array of Mexican options. Today we weigh the three

biggest. Chipotle Mexican Grill founded in 1993, the pseudowapscale joint that melds

freshness and affordability. Del Taco founded as Casa Del Taco in 1964, beloved west of

the Rocky Mountains, and Taco Bell founded by Glen Bell in 1946, one-third of young brands

in the biggest Mexican food chain in the world. This week on Doe Boys, week two of the

2016 Dolimpic Susser Games, Mexican food division.
