Founder Craig Presley grew up in Houston's Fifth Ward, graduated from Phillis Wheatley High School and Texas Southern University, and previously taught biology to at-risk students in Houston ISD

Presley cashed in his teacher retirement to open the restaurant in March 2001 in the Fifth Ward neighborhood to set an example of entrepreneurship for area youth

The restaurant has contributed to the community by sponsoring school and neighborhood activities and participating in summer youth employment programs
