Lou Lambert

Stories with Soul

When you grow up in a family that’s been ranching West Texas for seven generations, family expectations are inevitable. For Lou Lambert, that meant at least one semester at his father’s and grandfather’s alma mater, TCU, and a commitment to working hard wherever he ended up. While attending TCU, he discovered that a love of cooking paired well with his willingness to work hard, and those two ingredients opened the doors to fine dining restaurants in New York and San Francisco. Eventually Lou felt pulled back to Texas, where his distinctive style and high quality menus set his restaurants apart. From his thoughts on style to his West Texas family values, you’ll want to take notes during Lou’s conversation with Jimmy and Jamey. He is the mastermind behind so many Fort Worth favorites like Dutches Hamburgers and the new Roy Pope. Listen till the end to hear his vision for bringing The Paris Coffee shop back to life next!
