blue92 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Back in the 1950s my dad would take me with him to go get a big box of fried chicken from this chicken farm it was either somewhere on South Main or OST does anyone on here remember this place and it's location, name?

IronTiger Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Wow, they went straight from the farm to fried? That's awesome (fresh-tasting I imagine) and would be like a barbecue joint having a full-scale farm and slaughtering option out back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue92 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think I may have remembered the name of the place. I'm thinking it was Youngbloods. It was in a huge tin building. Where you bought the fried chicken was a little area within the building kind a like the fried chicken place on the corner of the HEB on 529 and Baker-Cypress (that is if it's still there).

mkultra25 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 There were Youngblood's restaurants all over Texas, and the company also owned and operated chicken farms, but I'm not sure if they ever had restaurants onsite at the farms, at least in the Houston area. This website says that the farms were all in the Waco area: http://www.oakcliffyesterday.com/?p=300 There was definitely a Youngblood's on South Main. I can't seem to turn up a list of all the Houston locations, but as a kid I used to eat at the one at Tidwell & I-45 regularly. When Youngblood's went out of business in 1969, that location became Aunt Bea's, which is still in business today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Youngbloods I'm talking about we went to didn't have a restaurant in it, it was takeout only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having takeout onsite at a chicken farm almost seems more plausible than a full-service restaurant. At the Youngblood's restaurant I was familiar with, takeout was a significant part of their business, and they had a separate entrance in the back of the building where the takeout window was located.
