Today we’d like to introduce you to Marco Street.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Marco. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My father, Gene Street, who founded and operated Dallas’ Black-eyed Pea restaurants, introduced me to the restaurant industry. In my early years, I helped out at the Salado Mansion kitchen and worked at family concepts like Cantina Laredo and Spaghetti Warehouse throughout high school and college. I had an art background with a feverish passion to pursue music, so I began an audio-visual production company in 2007. It was designed for local Dallas bands. The company ran for five years before the restaurant industry reeled me back in.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Dallas has a very high concentration of delicious Southern restaurants, so we had to work extra hard to ensure our concept was something special that guests would want to keep coming back to. We’re proud to say Street’s Fine Chicken has been a mainstay on Cedar Springs for nearly two years, and we’re continuing to see much success.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
In 2013, the idea of a chicken concept began to hatch in our family and I became very inspired. Ultimately, I made it my mission to develop Street’s Fine Chicken, which grew to be a southern chicken house with a hint of French flair that features secret family recipes. Our menu at Street’s offers guests classic comfort dishes with unique twists, handcrafted cocktails, a boutique wine list and sourced Dallas craft beers on tap. I currently serve as proprietor and managing partner of Street’s.
What were you like growing up?
I’ve always been a lover of the arts and remain to be a local advocate in Dallas today. My passion for art is reflected throughout both locations of Street’s. Artwork includes chicken photography and paintings that are created by actual chickens from Salado, Texas. Outside of our Cedar Springs restaurant, there is a large mural painted by students of Booker T. Washington High School, my alma mater.
