Celebrity Chef Cassy Jones is opening her first brick and mortar restaurant this month. Cassy’s Grill is at 304 U.S. Highway 175 in Eustace, Texas.
Jones chose Eustace because her mother was born and raised there and her parents live there now. She bought land in Eustace about 15 years ago and moved next to her parents a couple of years ago. She is excited about bringing new dining opportunities and her brand of cuisine to the region.
Pecan Glazed Wings are fan favorite dish prepared by Chef Cassy Jones.
Located between Athens and Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, Jones says customers can expect to see favorites including brisket, mac ‘n cheese, loaded baked potatoes (plain and brisket), honey pecan-glazed wings, buffalo wings, and her famous fried collard greens.
Jones creates traditional Southern dishes with a modern twist, blending her country roots with urban influences. When she applied to be part of the State Fair of Texas in 2013, she managed to skip the infamous wait list and landed a booth on the Midway the same year she applied, due in part to her Fried Collard Greens recipe. Ten years later, fans still flock to her stand to sample this savory soul food bite.
Chef Cassy’s Fried Collard Greens are a favorite of visitors to the State Fair of Texas. Now they can find them year round at her restaurant in Eustace, Texas.
Jones recently appeared on the A&E show Deep Fried Dynasty, showing the big personalities behind the mouth-watering food at the State Fair of Texas. The series was an inside look at how these imaginative foods come to life and the millions of dollars on the line for these family-run small businesses. Deep Fried Dynasty can currently be viewed on Hulu.
Jones’ infectious laugh and Southern charm also landed her on The Kelly Clarkson Show, in an episode of Guy Fieri’s grocery store-themed game show Guy’s Grocery Games on the Food Network, and she has appeared on The Cooking Channel’s Carnival Eats hosted by Noah Cappe.
Until the building doors are open she’s serving up her Southern treats from a food truck in the parking lot at the same address. Normal operating hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. She’s closed on Monday and Tuesday. Learn more on www.chefcassy.com.
