Its a Texas grocery store chain founded my C.C. Butt and taken over by her son.
Howard Edward Butt.
Current CEO is Charles Butt.

Texan's have cool names like that.
Nobody wants to say they went to the "The Butt Store" to buy groceries which is why they went with just the initials in the name.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if somewhere in Texas there's a joint called Tit's Cafeteria.
Couple year's ago down in Waco there was a burger joint called Fat Ho' Burger.
True story.
I think it be a restaurant ....
Anyway interesting story ... here have no such stores. Being covered everything more monopolistic market.

Texas is diverse and so is the food.
Jesus was a Jew but he had a Mexican name.
The Mexican nick name for Jesus is Chuey.
Chuey's has great Tex-Mex food!
You do not give me no choice ... We will have next vacation in texas.
And also give my wife taste savor the aroma of the old Dynasty series (remember you?) ... She does not forget how to live characters after 30 years.
PD: At least teach that television is a lie to real life

Dynasty?
You mean this show?

That wasn't a Texas show.
Perhaps you meant this one.
Dallas.

Chicken pita tacos? Not sure what to call them but they are good. Homemade tortillas, grilled chicken breasts, grilled onion and bell pepper, greek pico (greek dressing, red onion, tomato and cucumber), ranch dressing and feta cheese. Not sure why but the one in the picture has a slice of grilled sausage on it 
Ranch.
Thats fangerprint proof that you're from Texas right there.
And further proof still is that you didn't call them "chicken fajitas".
Only Yankee's do that.
And you're playin' hide the sausage on that taco.
Texan's invented that game.
Looks goodern' hell!

Thanks. I played around for a long time coming up with the recipe for these. I wanted a tortilla that was thick but still soft, a little bit chewy but not tough and not brittle. We eat at alot of Mexican/Tex Mex joints and these are better than all but one (a tiny little taqueria that make the BEST tortillas ever). The recipe goes:Scoville DeVille said:
4 cups flour
1 2/3 cup water
5 Tbsp lard (yep, lard)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
I also add 1/2 tsp of habanero powder for a little spiciness
Mix all ingredients, water being last, in a stand mixer. Mix on low until fully mixed, maybe 5min or so. Let it rest 5 minutes. Mix again for a couple minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. The dough will be pretty sticky so use a good amount of flour on the working surface. This should make 10-12 golf ball size dough balls, which will roll out to fairly large tortillas. If you are a fan of smaller ones, it will make several more. Toss them in a hot cast iron skillet for 30sec to a min per side, the top will bubble when the first flip is ready to be done.
Have mercy.
That's pert dang healthy lookin'.
Absolutely bootiful!
Somehow life would not be worth living without shrimps and shrimp tacos.
