- Synopsis
- &“Stories of immigration, culture-clash . . . and old-fashioned hard work are told through the history of Houston&’s long-gone, but still-beloved restaurants.&” —Yesterday&’s America With more than fourteen thousand eating establishments covering seventy different ethnic cuisines, Houston is a foodie town. But even in a place where eating out is a way of life and restaurants come and go, there were some iconic spots that earned a special place in the hearts and stomachs of locals. Maxim&’s taught overnight millionaires how to handle meals that came with three forks. The Trader Vic&’s at the Shamrock offered dedicated homebodies a chance for the exotic, and Sonny Look&’s Sirloin Inn maintained the reputation of a city of steakhouses. From Alfred&’s Delicatessen to Youngblood&’s Fried Chicken, Paul and Christiane Galvani celebrate the stories and recipes of Houston&’s fondly remembered tastemakers. &“In the book, the Galvanis share Houston&’s history and love of food. They take the reader on the banks of the bayou when the city received its first inhabitants before time hopping from the Original Mexican Restaurant to The Original Kelley&’s Steakhouse. Other stops include Alfred&’s Delicatessen and the San Jacinto Inn.&” —Houston Business Journal
