The company is growing, and this has been the plan all along,â Shepherd said in a press release. My job now is to support the next generation of restaurant leaders.

An oral history of what Covid-19 has done to the Houston hospitality industry.

Published in the Spring 2021 issue of
Houstonia
Covid-19 dominated everything in 2020, from the way we lived (mostly at home) to how we ate (again, mostly at home). In Houston it significantly altered the restaurant industry, with more than 100,000 workers temporarily finding themselves out of work during the year, according to the Greater Houston Restaurant Association. Restaurants closed for weeks, and in some cases permanently, chefs and workers found themselves out of jobs, and a city known for how much its residents go out to eat retreated.
UPDATE: Now that the situation has stabilized, Eater will no longer be updating this running guide of openings and closures. Please call ahead before traveling to these establishments to ensure that they are open, as some may still be closed due to power outages or water issues.
As evidenced by the snow on the ground and chilly temperatures, this weekend brought truly unprecedented winter weather across the state of Texas. As such, most of the city’s restaurants have opted to close their doors in an effort to keep staff safe during treacherous driving conditions.
Still, as thousands of people across the city are stuck inside their homes without power, there’s plenty of Houstonians who are in need of a hot meal right now. There aren’t many restaurants open right now, but Eater’s keeping track of the spots that are planning to stay open or keep the doors closed during this bonkers winter weather.
