After entering the oil business in 1972, Salah Izzedin successfully expanded the Latina Oil Corporation into a multimillion-dollar endeavor. Along with two other associates, Izzedin helped expand the Central and South America’s oil trading venture.

After gaining extensive experience with leading oil companies, entrepreneur Salah Izzedin broke into the world of entertainment, where he spent over a decade contributing to the entertainment industry with his Dallas and Houston businesses. Upon diverting his entrepreneurial attention toward a new venture, Salah Izzedin created Texas de Brazil, a Brazilian steakhouse with over a dozen locations around the country.

Offering his customers a wide variety of delicious food options, Salah Izzedin helped create Texas de Brazil’s menu, which includes at least 40 different salad-area options; side items like garlic mashed potatoes, sweet fried bananas, and Brazilian cheese bread; slow-roasted and well-seasoned cuts of flame-grilled beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and Brazilian sausage; a wide variety of desserts; and an endless selection of worldly wines.
