Pappas BBQ Loses Its Spot at Houston Hobby Airport
3 min read
Welcome to the journey, fellow tourists! There was a big change in the food scene at Hobby Airport last Friday. The well-known Pappas BBQ closed, and a bunch of new places opened. Hold on tight as we get into the specifics of this culinary adventure!
As a surprise, Gastrohub takes the lead after Pappas BBQ bows out.
As you walk through Hobby Airport, you expect to find the normal Pappas BBQ treat. Instead, you find Gastrohub, a new restaurant that has taken the place of the old favorite barbecue joint. The change happened after the Houston City Council made a smart move by making a ten-year deal with Areas to run the restaurant. This choice put Pappas in the rearview mirror after a legal battle.
Pappas BBQ: Jet-setters have mixed feelings about
There will always be change, but not everyone is ready to welcome it. A traveler going through named Tolani Are shared his sadness by saying, “Seeing it gone is kind of saddening to me.” That’s totally fine—the longing for old tastes still sticks around.
Pappas BBQ: Get rid of the old and bring in the new: meet the 8 temporary culinary hotspots
The Houston Airport System, which planned this food makeover, added eight temporary places to make the airport experience more interesting. There is something for every taste in this lineup, from the stylish Gastrohub Bistro & Bar to the tempting food at Streat and Streat Bar. Because, as Josh said, “I mean, everything deserves a try, you know.”
It’s not always easy for Pappas to say goodbye and change his equipment, and he had to leave quickly on Thursday at midnight. In spite of that, there was some drama in the exit. Officials from Pappas said they weren’t allowed to take their tools, which made Christina Pappas angry and led to a statement she released. But the City of Houston had a different point of view and said they had to follow through on their contractual responsibilities.
The Battle of the Contracts: Pappas BBQ vs. City Legal: Reading the Small Print
In court, Houston’s lawyers made the case clearer by stressing that the city had the right to stop Pappas from taking away airport features that were bolted down. There seems to be more to this airport breakup than meets the eye. The argument is mainly about small details in the contract.
