An oldie, but a goodie
Airline seafood eatery preserves loyal following By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com While a lot of good, new restaurants are moving into the area, there are also plenty of eateries that have survived the test of time. Connie’s Seafood at 2525 Airline Dr. is one such oldie but goodie that has not only maintained a loyal following but also spawned three other sister restaurants around Houston. Annie Ho, Connie Chan’s daughter, said she grew up working in the original Airline location along with her seven siblings, before going on to run her own restaurant in Pasadena. Ho said her mom who was born in China and raised in Hong Kong came to Florida with her husband in the early 1970s. Later, the family moved to Houston. Chan and her husband originally opened the business together on Airline in 1979, but after their divorce, Chan renamed the restaurant, Connie’s Seafood. “We started as a market for fresh seafood because grocery stores weren’t offering that then,” said Ho, who notes that

Connie’s predated Tampico Seafood and Golden Seafood on Airline. “We were right across from the farmers market and people were hungry so we started cooking more food and selling less and less as a market.” Eventually the grocery items were moved out and more tables were moved in, although customers can still buy fish and seafood at Connie’s to cook at home. Manager Erika Aguilar said that about 90% of their business today comes from eat in customers and the other 10% buy from the market. Talley Ned Denney remembers first go-
Sweet partnership leads to new pastry business By Kim Hogstrom For The Leader For eight years, Garden Oaks resident Kathy Cummings Boulte has been successfully helping children overcome hurdles as a speech-language pathologist. At the same time, Boulte’s lucky friends have enjoyed the fruits of her hobby, sharing her hand-made English scones. “These are so good, you otta’ sell them,” friends would say to her of the British tea cakes. After years of hearing the same refrain, it happened. Boulte caught the biz bug. “I just decided it was time,” she said with a shrug and a smile. On June 5, Boulte and her friend of 25 years, Julie Davidson, are launching a commercial kitchen on Crosstimbers Ave., near N. Shepherd Dr., dedicated to the creation of made-fromscratch scones. The new business, called Sontastic, will offer a variety of the cakes in many flavors: lavender, strawberry white chocolate, gold-leaf, gluten-free scones and many more. “I am the chef, the creative one in our partnership,” said Boulte. “Julie spent years in corporate life, and she has the business head. She wrote our business plan. She is handling the accounting and things such as that. I will do the baking. We very much compliment and balance each other in our skills.” “Kathy so very sweet and kind,” stated Davidson. “I, on the other hand, will give people the benefit of the doubt, but only so far. I am the business pit bull in the partnership and I am OK with that,” Davidson added with a laugh. The two forty-something-year-old partners will use only locally sourced, fresh products: brown eggs, fresh fruits, Texas butter, etc. There are no preservatives. None are required. Scones have a shelf life of about five days without refrigeration. Scontastic will launch as an online business only. Clients can place orders, and the partners will either ship the scones or deliver, if the order falls in the The Leader’s readership area. The scones themselves are round, looking a bit like a biscuit or cookie, and range from $2.50 to $4 for each. “We have plans to grow. We are hoping to add a scone food truck in six months, and a storefront in Timbergrove in a year,” said Boulte. “These are wonderful treats that deserve a place on the American table. We apologize in advance if our clients find themselves addicted. They are just ‘that’ good,” she concluded. To order, go to Sconetastic.com

ing to Connie’s in the mid-80s when it was a small, white clapboard building. “Chilo worked there shucking oysters at the oyster bar and making the best ceviche in town,” Denney said. “I still use his recipe he shared with me years ago.” Customer favorites these days still include the ceviche and oysters as well as the fried shrimp and rice which reader Stella Stevens thinks is “the best you’ll find this side of Bellaire Boulevard.” Other mentions from Leader readers are the catfish platter with fried rice and fries and the shrimp cocktail. Reader Rosey Delgado said the whole fried tilapia is a stand out, and also complements the restaurant’s service, saying she never has to wait for a drink refill. Annie Ho, who has presumably sampled much of the menu over the last 35 years, likes the whole fried fish and the seafood cocktail with shrimp, octopus, avocado, oysters and hot sauce – “especially for the summer.” Ho said that it has long been popular among the Chinese to eat the whole fish, but that they will prepare it anyway the customer likes it – split, whole, middle, steak or fillet. Customers can have their fish fried, steamed or grilled. Connie’s cocktails are popular too, with the Michelada (Mexican ‘beertail’) as a standout. Connie’s is open Monday through Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to midnight and Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. The lunch rush from noon to 2 p.m. on weekdays is always busy as are the weekends, but the restaurant is spacious so there’s never much of a wait. During the temperate months, there’s the patio too. Never tried Connie’s? Well, it’s not going anywhere but there is no time like the present.

David Perez Transitioning creativity into reality By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com The Heights is David Perez’s home. Perez was raised in the Heights, it’s where he completed his education and it is also where he developed and embraced his creative mindset to become the bartender he is today. That creative mindset can be traced back to Perez’s early days in middle school and high school. Perez said he wasn’t the best student, but he had teachers who knew his strengths. One of those teachers is a local artist, Anthony Day. Perez accredits teachers like Day, for getting to know his strengths and encouraging him to follow those strengths. In high school Perez landed a job at the contemporary arts museum, where he worked with a team on events that would bring teenagers in to the museum. “Art is what appealed to me in high school,” Perez said. “Working at the museum was the first job I had where I wasn’t just cleaning something. I worked on a pretty big project that they put my name on. It was a big deal to me.” Later Perez found himself working at the right place, at the right time. Perez started working at Sundance Threatres, where he met Julie Rogers. Rogers, at the time, was also working at Downhouse and Perez was fully aware of Rogers’ position. He also knew that D&T would be opening in a couple of years and that was the place he’d start his career. “I told Julie to pass on the word that I wanted a job there and she said OK,” Perez said. “I guess she really liked me and she kept pushing me on Chris, the owner, and Jason and Amber, who were the opening managers, because eventually they said they would meet me. When the time came for Perez to meet with the D&T group, Perez said he was nervous. “I was nervous at first because this was my first bartending job, but the atmosphere was laid back and I felt really good about the conversation,” Perez
sation that the industry offers is something Perez has always enjoyed. Perez can trace this back to the early days of interacting with customers at the movie theatre, selling popcorn. “The 30 seconds to two minutes you have interacting with somebody, just selling popcorn, was pleasant for me and just made bartending easy,” Perez said. “I guess that is where the skills and shaping came to be for pushing me into the industry.” Perez’s social skills are what landed him his next venture. Before the Heights Tiki bar opened, Lei Low owner Russell Thoede and his wife would often frequent D&T for a beer and chat with Perez. Often times the chats were about Thoede’s plans for opening Lei Low and eventually those plans turned into blueprints. Hearing the plans and seeing the blueprints turn into reality is what drove Perez’s curiosity. “I had been going to regular divey bars and getting more into cocktails, and after hearing the group talk about opening up Lei Low, I really wanted to work there,” Perez said. “I had no way of saying I wanted to work there without coming off too strong.” The idea tossed and turned in Perez’s mind. D&T had started to switch management and his position had switched to a more competitive position within the company. Eventually the day came where Thoede reached out to Perez for bartender references for Lei Low. “When they said that, I wanted the job,” Perez said. “I didn’t know if they were testing

me out and I thought maybe they were. So the next day, I told them I didn’t know anyone, but that I’d be interested in doing it.” As honest as Perez was, so was Lei Low. They told Perez they did not have him in mind, but they didn’t have a problem with training a “newbie.” That newbie is now a bartender at Lei Low, serving up featured menu items and even testing out his own creations. Lei Low will be putting out a summer menu soon and while Perez is still learning, he is already adding a touch of his Heights Hispanic heritage to the summer menu with his featured cocktail, the Texcoco. Perez has had quite a transition from a beer watering hole to a tiki rum bar, but accredits the staff at Lei Low. If you met Perez while at D&T or if you’ve had a drink from him at Lei Low, one thing stands out more than his head of hair, and that’s his welcoming hospitality.

said. “D&T is in the neighborhood that I grew up in, so I felt really good about our talk and I knew it was how I was going to be a part of the neighborhood.” Perez’s gut feeling was right.

Painting En Plein Air and at secret Heights music venues A popular image of artists, is painting live, all the scenery before him/her, on a hillside with a canvas propped up on their easel. I always envision the artists at Jackson Square in New Orleans, painting the people and architecture around that popular destination. The phrase associated with painting outdoors is “en plein air.�French obviously, and the practice became popular after paint became available in tubes in about the mid 19th century. There you have it, artists paving the way to modern society, by short cutting our painting techniques! In Houston, where do you imagine an artist using the plein air technique would paint? With the bayous, cityscapes, parks, bridges, refineries and our very own ship channel, inside the loop even; the city of Houston is an artists’ dream subject. Perhaps Houston is seen that way through the eyes of artist Arthur Deatly, who has painted all that and more. An elementary school art teacher in the Cy Fair School District, Deatly spends his weekends traveling the various sites around Houston, capturing our vast city on canvas. Deatly, a native Houstonian, got his start in art very young, as he explains. “As a young person I experienced first hand the technological and social upheavals and breakthroughs of our time,� Deatly said. “Our public education system was experimenting with after school programs so in 1967 at Herod Elementary I signed up for art. By the time I was thirteen I won an Honorable mention in the District Spring Art Contest affording me my first class at the Museum of Fine Arts School.� Deatly got his BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute where he honed his skills painting from observation and also received an all level Art Certification from the University of Houston. He has said that casual shopper’s jaws have dropped at the sight of his paintings of the Houston skyline and the plants and refineries that create their own surreal landscape along our ship channel. They exclaim the pictures show their building or company refinery. Deatly Featured art of Downtown and WARD stor- says that a good en plein air paintage by Arthur Daily. ing transports you, it puts you in the place and time where the viewer was when it was painted. “My paintings slow down time, they’re recordings, not in a moment but in moments,� Deatly said. Those moments translate to fifteen to twenty hours “recording� lines, light and color, creating an honest portrait of a place from the person’s view in history. Personally, I love his work of Hermann Park, particularly of the reflection pond. His style is loose, almost as if sculpted with his brush, but his use of light is a reminder too of the popularity of plein air painting with the impressionists. Deatly will return every week, at the same time to capture the scene for his paintings. Deatly is a regular at First Saturday Arts Market, however there is a rare opportunity to meet him in a gallery setting this Saturday evening at 8 p.m., as he is the guest artist at a house concert art show combo that also features musician Rhonda Roberts. Roberts is well known on the Houston music scene

Featured artist Arthur Daily.
for her original songs, and often humorous and masterful use of the ukulele. I’m not kidding, Roberts is absolutely mesmerizing. I won’t reveal the location of the venue in print but I did visit and it has great acoustics. Amazing that the Heights has so many hidden treasures that just keep rising up. These house concerts are not exactly published and advertised publicly. The secret to meet the modern masters of plein air and the ukulele is to contact Jeannette Waldie of Creative Heights Houston via email or phone: creativeheightshouston@gmail.com, 832-530-4456. Creative Heights Houston is on Facebook too. Keep up with Arthur Deatly on his website DeatlyArt.com.
