Almost five decades of Frenchy's Chicken in Third Ward

Mrs. Sallie Creuzot and her son, Percy “King” Creuzot, describe their restaurant's legacy in the historic Third Ward of Houston during a visit from FOX 26 News segment contributor Cleverley Stone. For almost fifty years, the Creuzot family has provided fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, sweet potato pie and more to loyal customers. Sallie and Percy share news of a planned move to a new location, scheduled for late 2018, as well as their prized fried chicken recipe.
