Houston Restaurant Week(s)

Since when did eating equate to feeding others? Since 2003. Houstonians have been filling their stomachs at local restaurants while donating to the Houston Food Bank for the past 6 years through Houston Restaurant Week, founded by Cleverley Stone of “The Cleverley Show” on CNN 650 Radio News.

This year’s dates include not one, but two weeks starting Monday, August 10th and ending August 23rd.

The prix fixe, three course meals will be available at over 75 Houston area restaurants, which you can check out on the website, www.houstonrestaurantweek.com for $35, $5 of which is donated to the cause.

Last year’s event raised nearly $79,000 for the Houston Food Bank, a network of 400 charities, feeding a total of 80,000 people each week in 18 southeast Texas counties.
