The Crack Shack
Popular Southern California-based fried chicken chain, the Crack Shack opened its first Texas outpost in Katy’s LaCenterra shopping development this month. The family-friendly restaurant, known for its golden-fried birds, is working with local purveyors, including using artisan-baked sandwich bread from Bread Man Baking Co. and shakes made with Amy’s Ice Cream, to showcase the freshest ingredients possible. Linger around after you eat — the Katy location has a dog-friendly patio and serves up local brew from Eureka Heights and Saint Arnolds.
