A Canadian Eatery Called Joey Will Take Over the Galleria Space Vacated By Yauatcha | Eater Houston

"I've learned that Joey is a stalwart Canadian casual eatery that opened its first location in Calgary nearly three decades ago and is now headed to Houston: CEO Jeff Fuller confirmed the chain’s expansion to Texas to Canadian business news publication Biv. Construction permit applications filed in December point to the Westheimer Road space currently housing Yauatcha as the likely site. The chain operates more than two dozen locations across Canada and the U.S., including Seattle and Los Angeles, and its menus span a variety of influences — from Mediterranean hummus to sushi to Baja chicken tacos and “Bollywood” butter chicken. There's no firm opening date yet, but its arrival is reportedly “close.”" - Amy McCarthy
