The liquidation of the iconic Luby’s dining chain gained momentum Monday as the ailing company said it had lined up a buyer for dozens of its Luby’s Cafeteria restaurants in Texas. The deal came on the heels of a Thursday announcement that it would be selling its Fuddruckers brand to a North Carolina-based franchisee.
