Post a Comment On: TransGriot

[Image]I mentioned how much I love Frenchy's chicken and wrote a post honoring their 40th anniversary last year.

Well, one of the co-founders of that iconic Houston institution, 86 year old Percy 'Frenchy' Creuzot passed away yesterday in a local hospital after suffering a stroke three weeks ago.

Frenchy's is an iconic local chain started by the New Orleans born Creuzot and his wife Sallie in July 1969 as a po-boy stand on Scott Street near the UH and TSU campuses.

He added a creole seasoned chicken to the menu to compete with a now closed Church's location across the street, and a legendary establishment was born.
