Auto racing legend Carroll Shelby, chairman and founder of Carroll Shelby International Inc., has launched "Shelby Signature Foods." The company will focus on healthy comfort foods, as well as
regional specialties such as salad dressing mixes, cornbread, salsa, and fried chicken batter mix, per a release.
After retiring from the race circuit, Shelby started working with Ford
Motor in the early Sixties to create the Mustang-based Cobra sports car and Shelby Mustangs.
Shelby also helped start the Chili's restaurant chain with Larry Lavine in 1975. --Karl
