We had the good fortune of connecting with Adrian Wooten and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Adrian, what do you attribute your success to?
The key factor behind my business is my passionate love for people as well as my love for God. These factors are what drive me to do what I do. I allow GOD to be my CEO. I know that if I allow him to guide me and my business endeavors that I cannot fail. Passion is the key to it all. When you love what you do nobody can challenge that passion or you.


What should our readers know about your business?
Our business strives to make our customers happy by preparing good food and providing good customer service. With these qualities we ensure that we will have our customers wanting to come back. I am so proud of our business because we overcame many obstacles. We have the I can attitude that pushes us to strive for greater. This pandemic has caused us to endure a lot of challenges and struggles involving high meat and supplies prices. Regardless, as a faith based company, we trust in God and allow him to guide us through everything. We put God first and he is the CEO of our company. He directs our paths and gives us directions. What sets us apart from everyone else is that when God gives you a vision it’s only for you. What I do with my business may not be what others do in theirs.

Yes there a lot of people out there but my philosophy is that there is money to be made for every one.

It has not been easy, but we just keep pressing forward with an attitude of gratitude knowing that there is a silver lining and joy on the other side of what looks dark. I have learned that you can’t mix friends and business as there are no shortcuts. Trust your gut and although everyone is not gonna see your vision, don’t quit. I would love for everyone to know that Wootens Just like that Bbq Soulfood and catering are coming for everything that is.


Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well I take them for a special outing to show them what all Houston had to offer. I take them by food truck parks to show them diversity in foods. I want them to leave Houston knowing that this is the City where we do it big and where we love people. Last but not least, I would end their stay with a good Church service, a home cooked meal with family and friends to sit and talk about the good times, and reflect on what’s to come and pray as a family for what’s in store ahead.
