    Texas burrito chain rolls out a monster expansion across the state

    The Lone Star State's No. 1 burrito is giving Texas the bird.

    Austin-based Freebirds World Burrito, voted by consumers as the most craveable brand for two years running, has plans to double its footprint in Texas in the next five years, opening enough new locations in 2021 alone to make the company the second-largest burrito chain in Texas, according to Freebirds.

    Though the burrito biz hasn't spilled the beans about the specific number of stores it plans to add, nor responded to an info request about particular locations, a Freebirds news release does say the main areas of growth will be in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston, though the expansion is statewide.

    The expansion news comes on the heels of Freebirds' recent interior and exterior design update, which is rolling out to all 55 locations in Texas and includes style elements that speak to Freebirds' "deep-rooted state pride and heritage," as well as updated interiors, colorful graffiti-style murals, and modern furniture.

    Freebirds has earned fame for its extreme 7-pound "Super Monster Burrito," but has also expanded its menu to include salads, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, meal kits, bowls, and its most recent addition: low-carb bowls.

    "With an updated tech stack in the works, companywide interior design refresh, and incredible tribe members and fanatics, Freebirds is taking flight across Texas. We're on our way to becoming the biggest burrito chain in the state," says Freebirds CEO Alex Eagle.

    While the expansion could bring the number of Freebirds locations in Texas to well over 100, by comparison, competitor Chipotle has more than 250 Texas locations. But given Texans' proclivity to support locally spawned businesses, Freebirds' growth will likely be welcomed by burrito devotees.

    The chain currently has 16 locations across North Texas, including Allen, Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, Addison, Richardson, Lewisville, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Denton, and Irving.

    French Food News

    Dallas restaurant Frenchie debuts in former Corner Bakery spot

    A French restaurant has debuted in an iconic Dallas space: Called Frenchie, it's a new concept from Travis Street Hospitality (Knox Street Bistro, Georgie) now open in North Dallas’ Preston Center Plaza in the former Corner Bakery space at 8420 Preston Center Plaza.

    Described as a quintessential French brasserie designed as a casual, everyday restaurant serving an all-day menu of lunch and dinner (with breakfast launching in the coming weeks), it's a new direction for Travis Hospitality, who are venturing outside of their usual Knox-Henderson neighborhood and their first venture without white-tablecloth service.

    The 4,000-square-foot restaurant offers seating for 150 in the dining room and bar, and a 1,200-square-foot covered patio with an indoor-outdoor bar.

    Frenchie is the natural evolution for founders Stephan Courseau and Daniele Garcia and culinary director, Bruno Davaillon, who have built a reputation on refined, French-forward restaurants like Knox Bistro, Georgie and Le PasSage. Together, they’ve tempered their French-born culinary heritage and fine-dining training with American sensibilities to create a more family-friendly concept designed for North Dallas’ premier mixed-use district.

    “Frenchie is an American French restaurant made by French guys who are now in the American mainstream,” Courseau said. “Frenchie represents the version of the French people we are today. It’s who we became over the years – authentic to who we are today.”

    While Frenchie embraces a more relaxed tone, the restaurant remains grounded in the fundamentals of classic French bistros. Design details include pewter bar tops, patinaed mirrors, brass sconces, rattan chairs, and rows of cozy banquettes.

    Chef Bruno Davaillon has created a menu that blends classic French comfort food with all-day versatility – think crepes, rillettes, quiche, poulet rôti, tartare de boeuf, salade Parisienne, and pâtes au pistou, served from morning coffee and croissants to onion soup and burgers at lunch, and steak frites and profiteroles for dinner. Frenchie will also have a cocktail menu and wine list—featuring small French wineries. The beverage menu includes a freezer martini—custom bottled and pre-chilled by Travis Street Hospitality’s Executive Mixologist, Mario Martinez, exclusively for Frenchie.

    As a thoughtful, everyday destination, Frenchie appeals to many facets of the Dallas dining scene, from families and busy parents to office workers and local shoppers. With refreshing joie de vivre, Frenchie represents an exciting new era for Travis Street Hospitality. After launching two new concepts last year – Le PasSage and Rose Café, both at The Terminal at Katy Trail – Frenchie is ready to plant new roots in a dynamic corner of the city.

    Founded by Stephan Courseau and Daniele Garcia, Travis Hospitality has been on the dining scene since 2013, the year after CultureMap Dallas launched, beginning with the debut of Le Bilboquet, which CultureMap Dallas was first to cover. This was followed by the opening of Knox Bistro, Georgie and The Georgie Butcher Shop (2019), Rose Café at Le PasSage and Le PasSage (2024).
