Who Really Owns Your Pappas? A Deep Dive (or Not So Deep)
The Pappas Empire: Bigger Than You Think
So, you've been to Pappasito's, had a margarita the size of your head, and devoured some killer fajitas. You're probably wondering, "Who is this Pappas guy, and why does he have a monopoly on delicious food?" Well, buckle up, because we're about to spill the beans (or should we say, the guacamole?).
It's not one Pappas, it's the Pappas brothers. Chris and Harris Pappas are the masterminds behind the Pappas empire. Think of them as the King and Queen of Tex-Mex (okay, maybe not royalty, but you get the idea). They started with humble beginnings (probably not that humble, given their current net worth), and now they're the proud owners of nearly 100 restaurants across the US.
It's All in the Family
The Pappas family is like the Kardashians, but with better food. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but they are a tight-knit bunch. And they've managed to keep their business in the family, which is pretty impressive in today's corporate world. So, next time you're enjoying a juicy steak at Pappas Bros., remember, you're supporting a family-owned business.
So, Who's the Boss?
While the Pappas brothers are the face of the empire, there's a whole team of people working behind the scenes to make your dining experience unforgettable. From chefs to servers, dishwashers to managers, it takes a village to run a restaurant. And the Pappas crew seems to have nailed it.
