Secret Menu at San Jacinto College South

Pasadena, Texas, 1973. An oil boom has ushered in the heyday of the famous Gilley’s Club, where thousands flock nightly to do-si-do like the cowboys of yore, and an all-night diner down the street that has revamped itself into a Honky Tonk that celebrates ‘Pasadena Pride and Houston Heritage.’ This is great news for Freddy Espinoza, the diner’s oddball fry cook, a fourth generation Tejano and Pasadenian who jumps at the chance to put his old family recipes on the menu and cement the Espinoza story into the history of his hometown. But when he’s told his family’s food is not ‘on concept,’ Freddy bypasses his boss by creating a secret menu that’s too good to stay secret for long. When his recipes take off, Freddy questions the right way to honor his family’s legacy.
