Creole-spiced fried chicken with a peppery crust, served with dirty rice and red beans. The Third Ward Sunday tradition since Percy Creuzot opened the Scott Street counter in 1969.
Percy 'Frenchy' Creuzot, a New Orleans-born Black entrepreneur, opened a po-boy counter on Scott Street in Houston's Third Ward on July 3, 1969, two blocks from Texas Southern University. He shifted the menu to Creole fried chicken with a heavy paprika-and-cayenne rub by the 1970s. The Scott Street counter became a Houston Sunday institution: UH students, neighbourhood elders and visitors from 30 miles out wait in line for whole birds at the same window. Frenchy's now has multiple locations across the city, but Scott Street remains the original. The Creole influence (a Louisiana technique inside a Texas fried-chicken frame) is the defining gesture.
