"Considering the enormity of George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) offers a decidedly more low-key way to fly. As the city’s oldest commercial airport, you’ve likely caught a Southwest Airlines flight out of Hobby en route to another Texas city, or perhaps a beach vacation destination. It doesn’t have the incredible array of big names that IAH has to offer, but Hobby Airport is working on it. Following the Houston City Council’s decision to cut ties with Pappas Restaurants, the airport closed its locations of Pappas Burger, Pappasito’s Cantina, and Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, and has introduced eight new temporary restaurants, as it prepares for an overhaul. Outposts of Houston-based Pink’s Pizza, Fat Cat Creamery, and Hubcap Bar & Grill, plus locations of Galveston’s the Spot, Gastrohub Bistro & Bar, Pick Up Stix, and Latrelle’s Mexican Kitchen are now open, and more than a dozen restaurants are on their way." - Brittany Britto Garley
