Percy “Frenchy” Creuzot Jr. founded the restaurant on July 3, 1969, which was originally a sandwich shop named Frenchy’s Po-Boy, according to USA Today. After years of attempts to craft the perfect mix of seasonings, he and his wife, Sallie Creuzot, stumbled upon what they believed would surprise customers’ tastebuds. When the couple started selling their fried chicken using their family recipe, they realized they had a hit on their hands and have continued feeding the Houston community ever since.
