Eat Drink HTX Kicks Off in February Celebrating Five Years of Benefiting the Houston Food Bank

The fifth annual Eat Drink HTX, sister event to Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW) produced by The Cleverley Stone Foundation, announced that menus for this dining adventure are now live.

Diners can visit EatDrinkHTX.com to view a partial list of participants and their menus, with additional restaurants and menus to be added to the website through February 15th . Mark your calendars and get ready to Dine Out & Do Good™—Eat Drink HTX kicks off Sunday, February 15th through February 28th.

The two-week-long dining event, Eat Drink HTX was developed for the casual dining category, with a lower price point set for two dish brunch, lunch, and dinner menus, allowing more casual and fast-casual eateries the opportunity to participate. The event is Founder, Cleverley Stone’s second pillar for fundraising in partnership with area restaurants.

Proceeds will support the Houston Food Bank as one of the world’s largest food banks, the Houston Food Bank provides access to nutritious food and critical resources through an extensive network of community partners, addressing immediate food needs while advancing long-term solutions to food insecurity across the region.

“This marks the fifth year the Cleverley Stone Foundation will produce Eat Drink HTX,” said Katie Stone, president of the Cleverley Stone Foundation. “In the past we have designated two beneficiaries, but this year the Board made the decision that proceeds will benefit our long-time partner, the Houston Food Bank. Eat Drink HTX was created to boost the restaurant industry, which is typically not as profitable at this time of year. The additional benefit is that the Houston Food Bank receives funds that will allow them to serve the many in need here in our community. Truly carrying on the legacy my mother, Cleverley Stone, intended for it and Houston Restaurant Weeks.”

This foodie friendly event encourages restaurants from across the greater Houston area to participate, from areas north of the city including Lake Conroe, Magnolia, and The Woodlands to Sugar Land and south to Clear Lake and Galveston.
