Houston Rockets Owner Tilman Fertitta Scoops Up Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouses | Eater Houston

"I note that the Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in The Galleria mall is part of a ubiquitous steakhouse chain with 35 coast-to-coast locations that just landed a 'baller' new owner: Tilman Fertitta. As CEO of Landry’s Inc., Fertitta—who already owns Mastro’s, Morton’s, Vic & Anthony’s, Strip House and Brenner’s and runs a multibillion-dollar hospitality empire of more than 500 restaurants, casinos and resorts—will absorb the Double Eagle Steakhouses as part of a broader deal tied to L Catterton’s purchase of Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group; Fertitta says Del Frisco’s operations will remain unchanged and his portion of the acquisition is expected to close at the end of October (terms undisclosed)." - Tierney Plumb
