Who’s the Boss of My Brunch? The Liberty Kitchen Ownership Saga
So, you’ve been craving those Liberty Kitchen brunch vibes, eh? But hold your horses, foodie friend! Before you dive into a plate of their world-famous chicken and waffles, let's clear up a little mystery: Who actually owns this brunch haven?
A Tale of Two Owners
It’s like a real-life game of restaurant musical chairs. Cue dramatic music. Originally, Liberty Kitchen was all about F.E.E.D. TX Restaurant Group. They were the OG owners, the ones who brought us those mouthwatering oysters and perfectly cooked steaks. But then, drumroll please, Culinary Khancepts, the masterminds behind State Fare and Star Cinema Grill, swooped in and snatched up two of the Liberty Kitchen locations.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit tricky. Culinary Khancepts got their hands on the Liberty Kitchen at the Treehouse in Memorial City and the Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette in River Oaks. But F.E.E.D. TX still holds the keys to the original Liberty Kitchen & Oyster Bar in the Heights. So, basically, it’s like trying to figure out who’s in charge of the remote control when you’re sharing a couch.
What’s in a Name?
You might be wondering, “Why all the fuss over ownership?” Well, picture this: You’re all cozy in your Liberty Kitchen booth, enjoying a Bloody Mary, when you realize the food is a bit off. You start questioning everything: the quality, the taste, even the authenticity of the famous Liberty Kitchen experience. And that’s where ownership matters. Different owners might mean different directions for the restaurant, different menus, and even different vibes.
So, Who Should I Blame for My Hangover?
Ah, the age-old question. If your brunch ended in a regrettable decision, you can technically blame both F.E.E.D. TX and Culinary Khancepts. After all, they’re the ones responsible for those delicious but dangerously potent drinks. But hey, let’s not be too harsh. We all make questionable choices after a few mimosas, right?
