Los Angeles Chili Bowl Restaurant Chain - Anyone Remember This Place?

Does anyone have memories of a Southern California restaurant chain called The Chili Bowl? All of the restaurant buildings were shaped like a bowl of chili. My second question: does anyone know the approximate year when the Alhambra location - on Valley Boulevard - went out of business? The building is still there, but now, it's home to a Chinese restaurant. All of my Google searches are bringing up pages of totally irrelevant information.

Thanks in advance!
