    So beautiful and I can so relate to her tragedy. I'm in that same boat, but with the passing of my son. He was 17. Please thank Irma for sharing.

    This story pulled some strings but in a really good way. Probably one of the best self starter restaurant stories I've ever heard of.

    I listened and watched the video, even I am 10,000 km away from you, imbued with respect for this worthy woman, God grant her health and long years, probably I was not destined to come to her cafe and taste her excellent cuisine, but I wish her well-being .. hello from Siberia

    This place is a true Houston staple. I met Irma when I lived nextdoor to her son and he invited me to his Mother's restaurant. He now manages the other downtown grille location and Miss Irma still runs her restaurant. If you have never been there, you are really missing out! You can taste the love in everything she serves!!!

    Interesting. No menus. Next to Minute Maid Park. Obviously a lot of business. How is it possible? You would have to train waiters differently, or so I would imagine. I know this woman, who memorizes every tables' order, in the grill/bar at this hotel in Amsterdam. You can't work there if you cannot remember dozens of orders, because I don't think they let you write orders down. Been there maybe 80 times. Never seen anyone write anything down. There was this Scottish dude, who was really nice, friendly, very approachable, but he had problems remembering. He didn't last too long. So. If you take away the menus, and the place is packed, you would have to train people who are maybe not like super advanced or at home in restaurants, but very much into THAT restaurant and that would mean Irma. That dude said that he would be eating there at least once a week, for the rest of his life. That's loyalty. Jeez.
