The 36 days of Houston Restaurant Weeks are almost as hotly anticipated as the 12 days of Christmas, with diners eagerly awaiting this year’s list of participating restaurants and their offerings. The weeks-long event, produced by the Cleverly Stone Foundation, kicks off on Aug. 1 and lasts through Labor Day weekend, concluding on Sept. 5. During this time, the restaurants donate a portion of proceeds from their fixed menus to the Houston Food Bank.
