All I know is most of the restaurants I've been to that offer them don't offer them for lunch. It takes something like 5 hours of baking and evidently need to be made daily. So if you want to have them fresh and ready for lunch you've got to fire up the oven around 6 am. I suspect many places don't have people coming in that early so the lunch crew puts the baked potatoes on for the supper crowd.

The point is moot anyway since Kreuz is out of business.
Don't cook much do you? 5 hours to bake a potato? Goodness.
I don't cook much in restaurants but from what I understand they use a large oven and cook a bunch of potatoes at once. They don't nuke 100 potatoes for guests. They bake em in a large oven all together.
I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

There are signs up for a new donut place (where Baked or Fried used to be) across from the Wal-Mart on Briarcrest in Bryan.

Does anyone know why the Kreuz BBQ thread was locked ?? I didn't see anything that would warrant it. And if they get shut down then the discourse will come here I would imagine which I am a prime example of that in this instance
Because it became a thread of BBQ snobs denigrating other's preferences because their palate wasn't as sophisticated as theirs.

General rule on Texags: Never get into a discussion about BBQ or Mexican food places. It brings out the d-bags.

No that it matters, but you don't go to a Kreuz type place for a chopped beef baked potato.
Well, I had already tried some of their other stuff (brisket, etc.) and that's what I wanted. I went there for an office gathering at lunch. I wasn't there to have a heavy lunch, which, when I eat brisket, that's what I eat - a lot.

It takes 45 minutes to cook around 50 potatoes in a restaurant kitchen oven. That's from first hand experience.

Ok I defer to your first hand knowledge. I can only go by what a chef told me. They had an oven for baked potatoes. The lunch crew put them on and the dinner crew offered them for supper. Maybe other places do it different. Now let's get back to comings & goings.

Bush's Chicken on Hwy 21 in Bryan has closed. Here's to hoping Chicken Express will open up in the old Bush's on Hwy 6.

Not to distract from the riveting baked potato discussion, but Mess Waffles is now open in Century Square.

A sign is up on the lot at Stonebridge and Rock Prairie for a pediatric dentistry. I wonder when a traffic light will be installed at that intersection. Already hazardous for those westbound turning into Scott & White emergency entrance.

So they are clearing it out to keep working on Howdy's Pizza or they are clearing out what had been done in order to prep for a new/potential tenant?

One way or the other, I bet it has Baylor in there somewhere.

Which is confusing in the Houston market as that Baylor has nothing to do with Baylor University or the Baylor medical school.

I'm not sure how I feel about this merger it seems like S&W is more of a rural market provider and Methodist is strictly urban. Seems like there will be lots of conflict of interests especially in our region as many procedures/specialist visits may get shifted to Cypress instead of Temple.

I work for St Jo so this shouldn't impact my day-to-day and I have no inside information about this merger.

There is apparently a old agreement from the days that BCM moved to Houston from Dallas keeping the Baylor name with the Med School in Houston area and prohibited the Hospital System in Dallas from using that name in the region. Hence the plan to keep Memorial Hermann name for the hospitals - as noted in the reporting - and just renaming the "System".

And the other poster is right - Methodist has nothing to do with this. Other than they are now the only major health system in Houston that is HQ there.

Yeah my apologies I just lump all the systems in Houston in my head into one amorphic mass and typed the wrong one.

Yeah...I've given up on Howdy's ever being a reality.

They had a dumpster out front. I'm out of town so I haven't been back but. They had film over the windows. I am not sure what state it was in before (if it was shell or if it was almost completed. If the latter I assume they are clearing it out. If the former maybe they are working on it. I'll report back Friday or so.

My wife and I went with a friend to Razoo's tonight. We hadn't been there in about a year. Food was good, and they had a band playing on the patio with what looked like maybe a 12 year old boy playing lead guitar and he was good, real good. Had a great time. I would much rather go there than Red Lobster.

Many of you have been asking about the opening - well, after a long year and a half, we're ready to open our doors to the public this Friday, the 5th. We will be running a limited menu to start with, and have many delicious surprises on the way. Come by and see what we've been working on! We will be open 7am - 10pm Friday & Saturday, and 7am - 3pm on Sunday.

Well knowing that Red Lobster is seafood not cajun food, they are not the same. I am from Cajun country and can tell you this for sure. Cajun food has seafood influences but definitely not the same.
