The details
DFW Restaurant Week is North Texas’ largest culinary event and the nation’s second-longest running restaurant week campaign, according to a news release. The 157 participating establishments will be supporting the North Texas Food Bank and nonprofit organization Lena Pope by donating approximately 20% of the cost of each meal to them, according to the Lena Pope website. This event has raised over $12 million in donations for its partners over the years, per the news release.
Ahead of the official launch, some restaurants will offer a head start with a preview weekend from July 31-Aug. 3. The participating establishments include Urban Seafood Company, Keller Chophouse, The Henley and more, according to the news release.
