The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana is getting into the food business.

The tribe's Tunica-Biloxi Holdings signed a deal to bring five Tom + Chee eateries to Texas. The popular and fast-growing restaurant specializes in a menu of grilled cheese and tomato soup.

"Tom+Chee is growing rapidly, and the team at TBHI is the perfect partner to push our business forward in the great state of Texas," co-founders Corey Ward and Trew Quackenbush said in a press release. "The Tunica-Biloxi share Tom+Chee's values of both service and entrepreneurial spirit. We are very excited to work with them."

The first two Texas locations will open in the Houston area.
