Despite being a few months old, Redfin Seafood Kitchen already has a piece of Texas history.
The restaurant features 150-year-old extinct long-leaf red pine from La Grange, Texas, that co-owners Mike McCollum and Bill Rasch and chef Mario Rodriguez cut and finished for the walls and burned for the bar top.
“There’s a lot of passion in this place, not only in the food and cooking, but in just building an atmosphere people want to come sit in and have a good time,” Rasch said. “We’ve heard all sorts of comments and most people like the story.”

McCollum and Rasch, both Steiner Ranch residents, met through their daughters’ volleyball league. McCollum had a dream of opening an oyster bar, and Rasch, who previously worked at Pappas Seafood House, wanted to open a restaurant.
