HOUSTON, Texas -- Marcelino Cantu, a native of Mexico, said he knew nothing about the restaurant business when he immigrated to Houston in 1968. His first job was as a busboy at Brennan's of Houston.

"The atmosphere was great, and I decided to stay and learn more every day," Cantu shared.

He became a server, and for five decades, Cantu has been a fixture in the Midtown restaurant, earning the trust and admiration of countless patrons.

"I feel like he's part of our family," Customer Anne Newton said. "I always look forward to seeing him."
