Pete Pappas, R.I.P.
Pete Pappas, the patriarch and co-founder of the enormously popular, Houston-based Pappas Restaurants, died this past Sunday at the age of 86.
Mr. Pappas' life is a quintessential Houston business success story. He came to Houston 60 years ago because the city embraces entreprenuers and then became successful beyond his dreams by slowly building a local restaurant empire based on good, reasonably-priced food and efficient, friendly service. It is precisely that kind of spirit and vision that makes Houston such a special place.

And a fitting tribute to his memory could be found by extending that spirit to Chicago. Hint hint.
