Back in the 80's there was a place in Houston with a reputation rivaling
Arthur Bryant's in KC. It too was owned and operated by an elderly
black man and it too was decorated in a rather Spartan fashion. The
'Q' was as good as it gets. The experience sticks in memory due to
our 'my' driver that day. He was a converted New York taxi driver. I'll
never understand how he got away with some of the stunts he pulled
that day.
