Today on the podcast Eric is joined by Morgan Weber of HiWay Cantina. Morgan speaks with Eric about why he and the rest of the team at Agricole Hospitality decided to change things up in the east end of Houston by closing Indianola and Miss Carousel, coming up with the ideas for HiWay Catina and Lightnin's Good Times, the development process for HiWay Cantina, making HiWay's menu items distinct from Eight Row Flint's items, how things have gone since opening, the style of fajitas, the drink program at HiWay, whether he was surprised by the success of EZ's Liquor Lounge, why he's happy doing casual concepts, what the future holds from a future projects perspective, reflecting on Coltivare as it comes up to it's 10 year anniversary, and using easy melt... yes easy melt comes up.
