In this episode of The Local Roots Podcast, business broker Nick Childs sits down with Scott Moore Jr., the entrepreneur behind Tejas Chocolate, Tejas BBQ, and Tomball’s newest destination, Snarky’s. What begins as a conversation about food quickly becomes a look at the mindset, risks, and hard-earned lessons behind building something people feel connected to.

Scott shares candid insights on creating with purpose, making difficult decisions when the outcome is uncertain, and staying committed to quality as a business grows. From craft chocolate and Central Texas-style barbecue to a bold new restaurant concept, this episode offers an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, community, and why Tomball has become such an important part of the Tejas story.
