The December 9, 1959 issue of the Bellaire Texan describes C.L. Brittain, the restaurants namesake, as “a native born Texan (Bosque County) who came to Houston in 1945 and entered the drug store and cafe business, built his first ‘Brittain’s Boiler Burger’ in 1950. ‘I’d had the idea of selling hamburgers broiled over real charcoal, just like you do in your own back yard, for some time,’ Mr. Brittain said. ‘I decided to put the idea into operation.” |
