  • Island Institutions Built On Spice and Grit

    Island Institutions Built On Spice and Grit
    Jan 2 2026

    A century of storms, grit, and family recipes shaped Galveston’s most enduring restaurants, from Gaido’s fresh Gulf seafood to Sunny’s house-ruled tavern and the legendary Maceo spice legacy. We trace how consistency, hospitality, and memory turned local kitchens into island institutions.

    • the 1900 storm, seawall, and civic reinvention
    • how family-run kitchens became community anchors
    • Gaido’s origin, seasonal sourcing, and national recognition
    • Sonny’s Place culture, strict rules, and UTMB ties
    • Maceo legacy from nightlife to spice and imports
    • Italian immigrant roots behind enduring island foodways
    • why quality, ritual, and names remembered build loyalty
    • food as proof that life and community go on

  • Michel B. Menard And The Making Of Galveston

    Michel B. Menard And The Making Of Galveston
    Dec 12 2025

    We trace how Michel B. Menard leveraged law, alliances, and risk to transform a barren island into Galveston, while confronting the exploitation that powered its rise. Vision meets cost, and a port city emerges through treaties, title fights, and hard truths.

    • Menard’s journey from Canadian fur trader to Texas entrepreneur
    • Mexican-era land laws and Juan Seguin’s proxy role
    • Neutrality treaties with Shawnee, Delaware, and Kickapoo
    • Texas Revolution pivots and failed Washington loan bid
    • From muddy encampment to city grid and port plan
    • Enslaved labor and POW exploitation on the island
    • $50,000 title validation and investor network
    • The Menard House as home, legend, and operations hub
    • Galveston City Company legacy and Stewart Title records
    • Wharf Company, rivalry with Houston, and port dominance
    • Financial fall, preservation of the house, and nuanced legacy
    • Reflection on power, mythmaking, and ethical context
