Houston Restaurant Weeks charity event

Entities: Mayor of Houston · Shell · Houston Food Bank · Houston Restaurant Weeks · City of Houston

Overview

In early July 2026, Houston Restaurant Weeks announced its 2026 program, featuring specially curated multi‑course menus at three Liberty Kitchen locations in River Oaks, Memorial City and Rice Village. Chef Matt Drennan’s two‑course lunch and brunch options were priced at $25, while three‑course dinners cost $55, with each meal generating a $1‑$5 donation that funded meals for the Houston Food Bank.

By late July, the fundraiser had broadened considerably. Dozens of venues across Houston, Montgomery County, Galveston County and The Woodlands participated, and the Pappas Restaurants chain rolled out charitable menus at more than 80 sites in eight states. Menu prices ranged from $25 brunches to $90 multi‑course dinners, with per‑item donations (e.g., $1 per sandwich or milkshake) feeding local food banks. The expansion amplified the event’s reach and donation capacity while maintaining its focus on supporting regional food‑bank services.
