gene Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I LOVE that they love Montrose so much! While it was cool to have that little "hole in the wall" location, i congratulate them on their new location due to so much success! 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hmmmmm I like the idea of this place and would like it to succeed- for me when I had gumbo as a kid......the roux was really brown- dark brown with lots of okra. This gumbo was okay but not like when I was a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 "On this week's episode of "What's Eric Eating," BB's Tex Cajun founder and CEO Brooks Bassler joins CultureMap food editor Eric Sandler to discuss the growing Cajun/Creole restaurant. Over the course of 15 years, BB's Tex-Orleans has grown from one, nine-table restaurant in Montrose to 14 locations in Houston and San Antonio." "Last year, we sold almost 1.3 million pounds of crawfish. When we're humming, we're selling 70,000 pounds per week," Bassler says. "What we've found is dedicated one individual to the purchasing and sourcing has been key, because he keeps his fingers on the pulse of weather conditions in the ponds by region and buys around the problematic issues." https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/whats-eric-eating-podcast-brooks-bassler-bbs-tex-orleans-1/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I stopped at Pappa Geno's for a cheese steak sandwich but noticed the new spot. The old B & B Donuts is now "P. King Authentic Chinese Food". Has 2 parking spots for delivery services and only one for customers in front of the restaurant so I assume most of their business is in delivery. https://www.pkingriveroaks.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) @Urbannizer @Triton or other moderators, please consider merging this topic. There is an existing topic for 515 Westheimer Rd dating back to 2008. The topic was titled something else until Highrise Tower changed the title twice - the last time being in December when he modified it to Westheimer Retail Center at 515 Westheimer: https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/17928-westheimer-retail-center-at-515-westheimer-rd/ The donut shop referenced in the post from the original topic pertains to B&B Donuts, which was located at 515 Westheimer Rd, Suite B: On 10/15/2008 at 9:00 AM, trymahjong said: i went to the donut shop in this strip shopping center and the lady said she, so vino and osaka restaurant were leaving? she thought it was because the rent was raised and no one can afford it-- 2 othere business have tried to make it there and failed-- The duplicate topic to merge: https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/48569-retail-center-515-westheimer-rd/ Edited January 23 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 LoopNet listing for 515 Westheimer Rd is linked below. According to the listing, it was published this month; however, it's no longer advertised on the the site. I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. The listing, along with the leasing brochure, appears outdated. The photos included in the brochure aren't current. There is a site plan attached. I'm also unsure if it's the most recent one. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/515-Westheimer-Rd-Houston-TX/27548604/ https://images1.loopnet.com/d2/Kz7jZbWJ1dWkCE375GrWJUK6JKvQEcpDNlji9Q9MTLs/515 Westheimer FINAL.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Bunslut, a local hamburger food truck-turned-restaurant, is leasing a unit at 515 Westheimer Rd. I am not certain which unit Bunslut will occupy. Also, I don't know when it aims to open. It's likely whichever space the restaurant is leasing will undergo some remodeling.

trymahjong Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 The more retail going in this shopping strip, indicts more pedestrians from North of Westheimer trying to get to them without using their cars. so perhaps another raised crosswalk ( like the one by Katz) should be installed, for pedestrian safety. Stanford street seems a likely candidate . In the lower Westheimer improvement plan; a center island is proposed to prevent left hand turns-- not really sure that provides pedestrian safety as much as a raised crosswalk would. Perhaps a flashing yellow light might help. Hmmmmmm, Stanford goes from Allen Parkway to I 69- someday COH might need a thorough fare like that. Blocking it off with that cement island might be premature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking it off with that cement island might be premature. Both are great in their own ways. The center island creates a shorter crossing distance and refuge. The raised crosswalk will slow down cars, but pedestrians would have to cross the entire width of the road at once. In this scenario, I think the center island is a better option. In response to the thoroughfare comment, drivers have both Taft and Montrose as N/S streets that actually have signals at Westheimer, W Gray, and W Dallas. It is not premature to close this to thru traffic since vehicles have those two corridors. Also, Standford is on the bike plan, so I dont think we would want to encourage a lot of cut-thru traffic down it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Isn't Taft a T-intersection at Hawthorne? COH has been know to spotlight/highlight/designate secondary " through" streets that are closely located to main through fares. The significance of such a designation I'm not quite sure. Before COVID Stanford was Such a street. BTW Stanford street leads north to many bars and restaurants around Pacific street. If there is an emergency of some sort. HFD sends out Ladder trucks as well as EMT trucks to check out emergency since everyone on ladder truck is certified EMT. Those ladder trucks come from both East and West of Stanford; most times using Westheimer. If those renovations and cement island proposal goes through.....HFD ladder trucks coming from west of Stanford could no longer turn left at Stanford. Food for thought.
