"Set to open inside Houston city limits, this 1,247-square-foot restaurant will occupy a space that formerly housed an ice-cream shop; construction is slated to begin this summer with completion expected by the end of October. It will bring the hot-dog chain's full menu to the site, including classic chili- and sauerkraut-topped dogs, creatively topped options such as the Cuban (a wiener with Swiss cheese and a pickle spear), plus burgers, bacon-ranch chili cheese fries, breakfast items, ice cream and other snacks. The opening represents the brand's return to Houston after its restaurants across the city closed in the 1990s and is part of a broader planned metro-area expansion." - Amy McCarthy
