Texas! How is it?

[GEddie]

Yes, lots of what are now national chains started in Houston, or somewhere in TX.

Chuy’s is national now, they are from Austin and have been a Houston staple for over 30 years.

Carrabba’s is a national chain now, but Johnny Carrabba is a local boy who still goes to my former parish.

Chili’s is a Texas chain.

Abuelo’s is a Texas chain that started in (I think) Amarillo and is now national.

Pappa’s restaurants (Pappadeaux, Pappasito, Pappa’s Seafood, Pappa’s BBQ, and more) started as a restaurant supply business in Houston and then grew into restaurants.

Jason’s Deli started in Beaumont and is now national.

We can’t help it if TX has good food!!!

I know this is an old thread and I apologize, but around here, the conversion of family eateries to chains happens rather easily. The Taco Palenque Tex-Mex franchise and the Danny’s Mexican steakhouse chain are two local eateries that went regional since the late 1900s.

Caloric capitalism is alive and well in TX! Chow down!!!
