Table Talk: Missing Houston’s and searching for meaning
The big news last week was the closing of Houston’s restaurant. (Jennifer Chandler/The Daily Memphian)
I can still remember when Houston’s opened.
Yes, I just admitted how old I am!
I was in junior high school, and my friends and I would often have our parents drop us off at the East Memphis restaurant for a meal. My orders back then were either the club salad topped with those famous chicken tenders, a hickory burger or a club sandwich. A spinach and artichoke dip always started the meal, and a five-nut brownie a la mode or an apple cobbler ended it.
