Officials have announced the lineup for Houston Restaurant Weeks, an annual five-week event for area restaurants to create special prix-fixe menus for brunch, lunch and dinner.
Meal prices range from $20-$45, and a portion of proceeds from each meal will benefit the Houston Food Bank, generating between nine and 21 meals for food insecure Houstonians. Visit

Tommy Nguyen, partner of Peli Peli—a South African fusion restaurant with a Vintage Park location—said he believes the month-long event is beneficial for the nonprofit, brings business to restaurants during a traditionally slow month and provides new options for diners.
"The customers get a great deal—it's a good way to eat at their favorite restaurant or a more value-based way to try out a new restaurant," Nguyen said. "Now August is one of our strongest months of the whole year."
Proceeds for the event from Peli Peli restaurants in Vintage Park and the Galleria in 2016 totaled more than $76,000, Nguyen said.
