The Caldwell Family
From Falanthe
to the North Side
In March 1947, Frank Caldwell stepped off a boat into San Antonio with his eldest son Gus and his daughter Georgia. He took a job washing up in the T&G Restaurant kitchen on Fannin Street. Gus went to work at a barbecue joint run by another Greek immigrant.
They pooled every dollar they earned. By the end of 1948 the rest of the family had crossed the Atlantic to join them. Frank bought a café in 1952 and named it after his sons. Then, in 1968, Gus and Ray bought a little place called Sanders Barbecue — and the first Caldwell Bar‑B‑Q lit its pit.
Sixty years later, Frank's grandsons run the company. Same family. Same hickory. The brisket is still trimmed by hand every morning, and the Greek salad on the menu is not an accident.
We were a family, and there were always fights, but the next day we were brothers and sister again.Ray Caldwell
