The first Saltgrass Steak House opened in March 1991 along the
Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston. It sits along the historic trail where cattle herders would drive their livestock south to graze on the salt grasses of the Texas Gulf Coast. Every year, as teams of riders travel the trail before the opening of the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, they pass by the original restaurant. Fertitta moved the restaurant's operations to Landry's headquarters in the
Uptown area of Houston. ==References==
