The Story of Saltgrass Steak House
_-_18.jpg)
The very first Saltgrass Steak House opened its doors in March 1991. It was built in Houston, Texas, right next to a big road called the Katy Freeway. This spot is special because it's along a historic path. Long ago, cowboys used this trail to guide their cattle south. They were taking the cattle to eat the salty grasses near the Texas Gulf Coast.
Even today, before the big Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo starts each year, groups of riders travel this old trail. They pass right by that original Saltgrass restaurant, keeping the history alive.
Becoming Part of Landry's, Inc.
In September 2002, a businessman named Tilman Fertitta made a big announcement. He is the president and CEO of Landry's, Inc., and he owns the company. Landry's, Inc. bought Saltgrass Steak House. At that time, Saltgrass had 24 restaurants.
After the purchase, Mr. Fertitta moved the main offices of Saltgrass Steak House to Landry's headquarters. This office is also in Houston, in an area called Uptown.
