Established in 2003 by the renowned food figure Cleverley Stone, Houston Restaurant Weeks emerged as a vital initiative aimed at supporting restaurants during the typically quieter month of August, while also generating funds to combat hunger. “It has transformed into an unstoppable force of a fundraiser,” remarked her daughter, Katie Stone, who currently oversees the event.
Guests have the opportunity to select from a $25 two-course brunch or lunch or opt for one of the three-course dinner choices, priced at $39 or $55. It is advisable to make reservations, and you can find the menus for each participating restaurant online.
