In 2017, Justin and Bobby joined forces and opened Better Luck Tomorrow. “BLT” was subsequently named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Restaurants of 2017 and one of Bon Appetit Magazine’s 50 Best New Restaurants of 2017. More importantly, it established a new hospitality partnership. Despite investing in each other’s businesses for over a decade, Better Luck Tomorrow formed a new path forward as partners with equal interest and contributions in a collective company.

Following BLT’s success, the duo opened Squable, a progressive neighborhood restaurant in Houston’s Heights neighborhood, in 2019. It earned a James Beard Award nomination for Best New Restaurant in the country in 2020. The duo also started a real estate company, Montrose Realty, in 2019. Currently, their tenants range from a fresh juice shop to a two-decades old dive bar.
