How Long Has Texas Roadhouse Been Wranglin' Up Those Ribs? A Meaty Investigation (with Minimal Math)
You might be sitting there, gnawing on a legendary Texas Roadhouse bone-in rib (because let's face it, those things are practically impossible to cut with a knife without looking barbaric) and pondering a deep philosophical question: How long has this glorious establishment been serving up smiles and sides of mashed potatoes the size of Texas itself?
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to embark on a journey through time (with minimal math, because who needs that kind of stress when there's bread waiting to be devoured?).
The Great Steak Escape: From Colorado Dreams to Texas Roadhouse
The story starts back in the wild west...well, not exactly. But close enough! Our fearless leader, W. Kent Taylor, dreamt of opening a Colorado-themed restaurant (yeehaw?). Life, however, had other plans. With the help of a former Kentucky governor (because why not?), Texas Roadhouse, inspired by the Lone Star State's spirit (and probably its amazing BBQ), moseyed on into existence in 1993.
From One to Many: The Texas Roadhouse Stampede
That first Texas Roadhouse, nestled like a lone tumbleweed in Clarksville, Indiana (yes, you read that right, Indiana!), must have been a sight to behold. But Kent Taylor wasn't one to settle for a one-horse town (or a one-restaurant county). Texas Roadhouse started saddling up and expanding faster than you can say "hot buttered rolls."
The Present Day: A Texas-Sized Celebration (Because Everything's Bigger in Texas, Especially the Portions)
Fast forward to today, and Texas Roadhouse is a full-blown stampede of deliciousness. With over 600 locations across the US and even some international outposts, you can practically hear the line dancing music from space.
So, How Many Years Exactly?
Now, if you're one of those folks who needs an exact number (we don't judge, but seriously, who needs math when there's steak?), let's do some quick, painless calculation. Since Texas Roadhouse opened in 1993, and it's currently 2024, that means they've been around for... drumroll please...31 years!
There you have it, folks! Texas Roadhouse has been bringing the good times and the good eats for over three decades. So, the next time you find yourself face-to-face with a plate of their legendary food, raise a glass of sweet tea (or a frosty mug of beer) and celebrate this Texas-sized success story!
