SL: 28 Houston Restaurants To Be Honored As ‘Legacy’ Icons

From Southern Living, “Preservation Houston, a non-profit historic preservation organization, has launched a new program recognizing long-standing, family-owned restaurants in the city.

Mom-and-pop restaurants are the heart and soul of the South, especially in a sprawling food city like Houston. While we love to celebrate emerging chefs and new restaurants, it’s extra special to honor the stalwarts that have stood the test of time.

This is exactly what Preservation Houston, a non-profit historic preservation organization, is aiming to do with their new program called Savoring History: Houston’s Legacy Restaurants.

“This program celebrates restaurants that have helped define Houston’s identity,” said Jennifer Kapral, executive director of Preservation Houston in a press release. “These establishments are more than businesses. They are cultural anchors where memories are made, traditions are sustained and neighborhoods find their heart.”

Earlier this month the organization announced 28 restaurants across the city that will be recognized in the program’s inaugural class, ranging from an iconic pie shop to beloved tacos. We’re sure you’ll recognize some of your longtime favorites, and perhaps discover a few new places to dine next time you’re in town.”
