Andy Zubik and his brother Jason have been in business with the Zubikhouse in October or 2009. With over 20 years of experience in the food industry roaming from Austin to Durango, Houston and beyond Andy came up with a mouth watering menu for his Texas Czech cuisine. So how does he make this seemingly contradictory fusion work? “Kolaches and other traditional items that are a pretty big staple in Czech cuisine have a lot of weight to them. German/Polish/Hungarian winters are so long that they eat a lot of meat potato dishes. But when you get to Texas and have 7 months of heat, it doesn’t translate as easily. You have to be more creative with the heat. For example, we do fried strawberries and chipotle pecan pie ice cream. At some point the chef goes back to their roots –what they grew up with, what they started cooking.”Andy is a big advocate for local business and leads by example by buying from local farms such as Full Quiver, Richardson, Fredericksburg beef, Slovacek and Kocurek. He says, “If you want a good strong economy you have to have a strong local economy – I can do my part with my business by buying local products. If I have my way, we will get nothing but local products and keep those dollars here and not sending them overseas or far away.”
