"For more than 60 years, Cream Burger has been a staple of the Houston community. Sitting at the corner of Elgin and Scott Street, sisters Beverly and Sandra Greenwood are two of seven siblings who have helped run the family-owned burger joint. Opened by their parents Verna and Willie Greenwood in 1961, students from nearby University of Houston and Texas Southern University, and longtime residents of the storied community have shown up week after week for simple, albeit deeply satisfying hamburgers, chili cheese fries, and ice cream cones." - Kayla Stewart
