Houston Restaurant Weeks Menus Now Live

On Wednesday the Houston Restaurant Weeks website went live with a list of participating restaurants and their menus. Take a look to find your favorites and start making reservations! 

The annual fundraiser that benefits the Houston Food Bank kicks off on August 1. This year Houstonians will get a few extra days to enjoy Houston Restaurant Weeks, since Labor Day falls on September 7. Participating restaurants will offer specially priced multicourse prix-fixe menus and make donations to the Food Bank. This year, there will be two dinner options ($35 or $45, donating $5 or $7, respectively), one lunch option ($20, donating $3), and one brunch option ($25, donating $4).

Last year’s event raised more than $1.6 million, breaking its previous record of nearly $1.29 million. It is the largest single fundraising event for the Food Bank. In 2014, the event raised enough money to provide 4,800,486 meals to those who are food insecure in our community. 

Brian Greene, President and CEO of the Houston Food Bank said, "Houston Restaurant Weeks gives people in Houston an opportunity to experience Houston's exceptional restaurants while providing much-needed relief for families suffering from hunger. We are grateful to once again be the beneficiary of this incredible event."

Founded in 2003 by Houston radio and TV personality Cleverley Stone, Houston Restaurant Weeks has raised more than $5.9 million for the Houston Food Bank, making it the largest restaurant weeks of its kind in the United States. Houston Restaurant Weeks is run by volunteers and 100 percent of the donations raised from area restaurants go directly to the Food Bank. 

“What started as an idea in 2003 to raise money for the Houston Food Bank, has happily become a citywide marriage of food and fundraising. It’s a win-win-win. The restaurants, Houstonians who enjoy dining out and the Houston Food Bank all look forward to HRW each year. I give my heartfelt thanks for the extraordinary efforts by participating restaurants, the sponsors and volunteers who all donate their resources, time and money to make HRW happen every year. And thank you to the diners for patronizing HRW restaurants in August. Without all of you there would be no HRW,” said Houston Restaurant Weeks founder, Cleverley Stone.
