IntheKnowHouston Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 1040 W Cavalcade St was home to Hoke Poke, a poke restaurant from the operators of Wokker. In recent years, LaMacro and Mam's Snoballs operated here. Coming soon to 1040 W Calvacade is Supreme Gumbo. Supreme Gumbo serves Louisiana Creole and Southern fare. There are also Creole and Mexican fusion menu items like gumbo quesadillas. Supreme Gumbo gained a following in the First Ward several years ago, operating out of a gas station. A few years later, Supreme Gumbo launched a food truck. Calvacade will their first brick-and-mortar location. The restaurant announced their plans last evening on Facebook: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the other day, I was reminiscing of the days before everything blew up in the Heights and remembered getting ice snoballs from the truck on 20th and Rutland and could not remember the name. I miss Mam's Snoballs and getting the tomato and goat cheese sandwich at Crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I saw they painted the dried up palm leaf roof black 😑 Like just rebuild the damn thing. It's just plain ugly and tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never as good as when it was still in the trailer at 20th and Rutland. My signpost for "before everything blew up in the Heights" is when Kaldi Cafe was still in operation on 19th. Those who are only familiar with 19th as it currently is might have trouble believing how sleepy it was back in the 90s. Hopefully the new gumbo place will do well. I don't think there's been a single restaurant that has managed to succeed at that location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will see your Kaldi Cafe and raise you a Beer Island. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
