The lowdown on what’s up with neighborhood businesses

Big Mama’s rises from the ashes

No, despite the smell of deep-fried deliciousness wafting through the air, the Texas State Fair did not relocate to Forest-Audelia rather, Big Mama’s Chicken and Waffles reopened. Two years ago, Big Mama’s closed following its second kitchen fire in as many years. They were small fires, but it’s a tiny place; the second fire was devastating, and it put the business out of commission longer than expected. The owners said last summer that they expected to open soon. The grand reopening in September caused traffic backups along Forest Lane and Audelia as diners crowded the double drive-thru.
