Back to News

Simply delicious. Wholesome Kitchen and Wholesome Pies bring a unique flavor to Generation Park and Lake Houston.

HOUSTON — The amazing amenities of Generation Park just keep getting better and better, and that most certainly includes the unique restaurants that are helping to put one of the Houston area’s fastest growing communities on the map.

Wholesome Kitchen and Wholesome Pies, Lake Houston’s newest joint-restaurant concept, announces its grand opening date of Thursday, June 6, 2019, at 250 Assay Street at Generation Park.

The grand opening celebration is open to the public from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. On opening day, Wholesome Pies will offer half off pizza’s, half off appetizers, and drink specials at both restaurants.

Michael Collins, the name behind several popular establishments in the inner loop, including The Fish in Midtown, is the owner and operator of both Wholesome Kitchen and Wholesome Pies under the restaurant group name Wholesome Restaurant Group.

“We are excited and proud to provide two new unique restaurant concepts serving quality food and beverages in a comfortable environment,”

said Collins.

Chef Theyen Hoang is the Creator and Executive Chef of both concepts. Chef Hoang, a graduate of the Culinary Institute Lenotre in Houston, worked as a line cook at Café Annie, learning from Chef Robert Del Grande and perfected the intricacies of Neapolitan pizza in Brooklyn, NY.

“Both concepts offer something for every taste. From Citrus Kale Salad to Beet Hummus or my personal favorite, bone-in ribeye at Wholesome Kitchen, our concepts are focused on bringing people together for any occasion,”

said Hoang.
