Luby’s Is Still Here, and So Is the LuAnn

If you grew up in Texas, you probably remember the tray. Brown plastic, a little damp from the stack, and way too much room for a kid with big eyes. You slid it down the rails at Luby’s past the Jell-O cubes and the pies, and somewhere around the fried fish your grandmother told you to pick one dessert. One.

Since 1952, This Old-School Houston, Texas Deli Has Packed Its No-Frills Sandwiches High With Meat

Some Houston lunch spots chase every new trend, and then there is one small deli that decided back in 1952 to skip all that. It still builds sandwiches the plain way, with fresh bread, house-made mayo, and a stack of meat that makes the sandwich hard to close. Some customers...

These 11 Texas Kolache Bakeries Draw Lines Out The Door Before The Sun Comes Up

One kolache shop in a big Texas city unlocks its doors at 4 a.m. on weekdays. Four. In the morning. And it is not even the only bakery on this list racing the sunrise. I love how a humble Czech pastry became a Texas road trip ritual. One of these bakeries has been rolling dough since 1956.

The crazy story of how Fiesta got its name

Fiesta is a name synonymous with groceries in Houston. Just saying the name conjures an image of glittering neon lights and a parrot or two. The name makes perfect sense too. If you remember Fiesta’s original incarnation, its stores were a bit like a party! Vibrant music in a packed marketplace helped make Fiesta a part of Houston. The reality, though, is that the name was a bit of a fluke. In fact, it was a second choice, made shortly before the original store opened. To set the stage, it’s 1972, and Fiesta co-founder Donald Bonham has recently arrived in Houston. By then, Bonham was already a grocery veteran. He had previously operated Bonham’s Food Market in his hometown of Corpus Christi and had even been called in by the Chilean government to help set up grocery stores and logistics in South America. After returning home to Corpus in the late 60s, Bonham became involved with a Louisiana-based company called Opportunity Stores Inc., founded by former Baton Rouge TV anchor Thomas Gillen. Gillen had noticed that chain grocers were leaving poorer areas to build new supermarkets, and proposed buying some of the abandoned stores to reopen as community markets. They would emphasize employing locals, not just in the store, but at the management level too. After hearing about the downfall of a Corpus Christi chain named Biel’s, Opportunity set its sights on Texas and hired Donald Bonham as its Texas representative.
