Menu Description:"Refried beans, cheddar cheese, guacamole, black olives, seasoned sour cream, green onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Served with tortilla chips and fresh salsa."

When the first T.G.I. Friday's opened in New York City in 1965 as a meeting place for single adults, Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post reported that it was the beginning of the "singles age." Today the restaurant's customers have matured, many are married, and they bring their children with them to the more than 300 Friday's across the country and around the world.

The Nine-Layer Dip is one of the often requested appetizers on the T.G.I. Friday's menu. This dish will serve half a dozen people easily, so it's perfect for a small gathering, or as a snack. Don't worry if there's only a couple of you - leftovers can be refrigerated for a day or two. Cilantro, also called fresh coriander, or Chinese parsely, can be found in the produce section of most supermarkets near the parsley.
