Description | This is an oral history interview with Danton Nix conducted as part of the Houston History Project. Danton Nix was interviewed on September 30, 2010, at Danton’s Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen, 4611 Montrose Blvd., Houston, TX 77006. The interview was conducted by Kyle Goyette on behalf of the Oral History of Houston Project, Center for Public History, University of Houston. The interview is available at M.D. Anderson Library on the main campus of the university. The interview explores such issues as how Mr. Nix came to open his restaurant in Houston, his past career as a chef, what kind of relationship he has with the city and its tourism board, and how recent events such as the BP Gulf Oil Spill have affected him and his day-to-day business. Many Houston-area businesses experienced a downturn following the media coverage of the spill, which caused many consumers to be reluctant to eat seafood that might possibly be contaminated or unhealthy. Mr. Nix explores how such thinking affects his role as a business owner and chef. |
