Ouisie's Table American restaurant
Elouise "Ouisie" Adams Jones
Jan. 10, 1943-Jan. 10, 2022
One of the first things Elouise Adams Jones was likely to tell anyone asking about her restaurant was how to pronounce her nickname. It's Wee-zee. Oui (as in yes) - sie (like in ZZ Top). Ouisie's. Not 'oozy's' or 'owlsy's' or 'queezy's' but Ouisie's, a nickname derived from Elouise, her birth name after an aunt who insisted they share it.
In 1973, she opened Ouisie's Table & The Traveling Brown Bag Lunch Co. on Sunset Boulevard in Houston. Customers described it as their own charming, eclectic and eccentric club. Ouisie went on to be a pioneer restaurateur in Texas and the proprietor of Ouisie's Table for a combined 45-plus years.

Whataburger American restaurant
Since 1950, Whataburger has proudly served a bigger, better burger. It all started when a young entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” He named his humble burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.” Over six decades later, we're still family owned and operated. Each and every Whataburger® is still made to order. We still use 100% pure beef and serve it on a big, toasted five-inch bun. And now, as we proudly serve burgers, chicken, salads and breakfast at more than 800 Whataburger locations across the country, that first burger stand is still close to our hearts.
