Get your fried chicken fix! | Eat Like a Local with Chris Shepherd, Ep. 33

[@pewee2496]

Awaaaa, Mrs Cruzot and Mr. King! So good to see you all! I worked for Mr. King at the "Frenchy Sausage Company" at that time located on 20th street in the Heights! They were such a blessing to me and my family, they treated me like family! Love you all very much! From Sis Myra!

Thank you for the history on Frenchy's. Loved it! Houston food legends!

I grew up just down the road from BBQ Inn. I still drive into town to eat there whenever I can. Don't forget to stop by Flying Saucer Pie down the street to take one back home for later!

Why isn't this guy ( Chris Shepard) gone national? He is like the AL Roker of Food. This was a fabulous vlog on some Houston's top fried chicken 🍗 🐔 places and so much more. The diversity, bending of cultures and deep history all seamlessly told/highlighted by Chris was so enjoyable. Great job !!!

@@algernon5776 I dunno bc he’s had a tv show for all of three months… I think he’s married already.

Chris Shepherd is former restaurateur and James Beard winner. Now he’s got a foundation (Southern Smoke Foundation) to help those in hospitality industry thru hard times. We love all his episodes, seems like a year ago he started this on Ch 2.

As a Houston local interested in the growth of the city and the growth of black businesses, I am so glad Frenchy's chicken was featured in the episode. Thank you Chris. However, Mr. CEO, Ernest Hunter II, please look into the location on 4403 East Fwy. I had to pick up food there for someone, the building was extremely dated and the environment was not very inviting and welcoming for a place to sit down and eat. The entrance was extremely dirty, like walking into a homeless person home. Inside was relatively clean and to my surprise, I saw just a couple waiting to eat inside but most of the orders were take away because of the look. You are less than 2 miles from downtown Houston, the demographic around that location are young professional with high disposable income, not to mention the food delivery services but you are losing a lot potential business with that building, it should be taking down and reconstructed asap please.

Great choices! Two Houston icons and one modern take on a classic. One you missed was Himalaya on I-69 at Hillcroft. Desi spin on fried chicken. Chef Kaiser marinates the chicken in masala spices, and the result is incredibly flavorful. Check it out.

Nothing like great restaurants in HOUSTON

[@antoniofacundojr8299]

Best fried chicken around worth the wait at BBQ INN❤

[@TruthTALKA]

Gus's fried chicken is way better than overrated La Lucha

[@BakaraBeard]

Gus Fried Chicken is great but it didnt start in Houston. It start it in Memphis Tennessee The place he promotes all start it in Houston.

[@RPBailey]

I wish Frenchy's in Beaumont would have lasted.

[@MyJason444]

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

I have not found decent fried chicken in houston since I was a small child. I am in my fifties. See, if you do not enjoy greasy, spicy food, houston is a living hell.

[@Mr.Rejuvenator]

You just probably just that person thats picky about everything. Its some good places to get chicken out here.

They tried to franchise, but it doesn't taste the same as the original.
