A husband-and-wife team will see a lifelong dream realized and one of the city of Jackson’s most eclectic areas will add another unique venue in August.
Chef Jesse Houston and Rachel Horn Houston are bringing a new oyster bar dubbed Saltine to the historic Duling School building in Jackson’s Fondren neighborhood. Saltine, named for the cracker commonly eaten with oysters, promises to offer a menu of creative oyster and seafood dishes with a bright, modern ambiance that also pays tribute to the history of the area and facility.
“We looked all over Jackson for a site for our restaurant, but we couldn’t find anything,” Rachel remembered. “We wanted to put the restaurant in Fondren — we felt it was the perfect fit for us — but there was nothing available. Then, the space came open in the Duling School. We finally found our place, and it was where we always wanted to be.”
