It’s official: Chef Jesse Houston and his wife, Rachel Horn Houston, will open a restaurant in Fondren in the spring of 2014.
The Houstons’ announcement came at a recent meeting of supporters and potential investors where the couple revealed their plans for Saltine Oysters and Brew. The name is a nod to the love of the plain cracker paired with seafood and comeback sauce.
Focused on oysters from the Gulf along with varieties from the east and west coast, Saltine will locate in the west end of Duling School.
Jesse said Saltine will take a simple approach, offering options Jackson is already in love with and will play off of the rising popularity of oyster bars around the country. “Look at Bon Appétit’s (Magazine) top 50 list this year, and four or five of their picks are oyster bars,” he said. “You can’t open Food and Wine Magazine without hearing about them. Oyster bars are not a new thing, but chefs are embracing and celebrating them once again.”
