Recently I came into some information about the restaurant preferences of local members of the Pasfield family. Who are the Pasfields? It's quite an interesting history lesson and you may be able to get more information by visiting PasfieldHouse.com
Anyway, they have a fundamental rule about eating only at local restaurants. Specifically, restaurants that are not franchises that remove far more money from the local economy than add to it. I tend to agree. I shamefully break that rule on most occasions, like anyone else. I know one of them secretly likes Steak n Shake, so I don't feel so bad.
What does that have to do with the guys in the photograph?
If the picture looks unfamiliar, these guys were protesting around the construction of the new Texas Roadhouse restaurant that was built near White Oaks Mall at Iles Ave and Veterans Parkway. Why were they protesting? Because they are local union construction workers who were passed over in favor of cheaper labor from out-of-state.
Yep. The restaurant was built with labor from out-of-state.
The company is publicly traded (TXRH) with a value of $8.76 a share as of a few minutes ago.
