Do you remember “90s Fancy” restaurants? I sure do- it was a different time, when Olive Garden felt like you had to wear your Sunday best and put your napkin on your lap (I still do the latter, just in case my momma walks in).
One of those 90s fancy places was Black-eyed Pea, which, despite its “down home” Southern-style comfort food, still felt like a place where you had better behave- or maybe that was just because I only ever went there with a grandparent.
Black-eyed Pea is a Texas orginal- the first location was opened in Dallas in 1975. That location stayed open for 40 years until it closed along with nearly every other still-standing location in 2016…
