College of DuPage presents: An Evening with Richard Montañez Tickets

An Evening with Richard Montañez - Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Inventor. From humbled beginnings as a Frito-Lay janitor to a rising company executive, inventor Richard Montañez inspired the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and other related products. His true grit, homage to Mexican culture and unwavering determination helped to disrupt the food industry to evolve the popular snacks into a billion-dollar enterprise and global cultural phenomenon.

After his presentation, Richard Montañez will sit down for an enlightening talk with MAC Director Diana Martinez and an audience Q&A. He also will sign copies of his book “Flamin’ Hot,” which was adapted into the Disney+ film directed by actress Eva Longoria.
