Seven Katy area establishments are partaking in this year's Houston Restaurant Weeks from Aug. 1 to Sept. 4. to benefit the Houston Food Bank. Proceeds from special menu items at participating restaurants go to the nonprofit and since its founding in 2003, the initiative has raised more than $9.6 million, event founder Cleverly Stone said. Texas Mesquite Grille's Katy location is participating this year and owner Austin Yates praised the event as a way  for customers help those in need and enjoy local dining. "It’s just such a great cause and they raised over a million dollars last year,” Yates said. He and Stone recommended calling ahead for reservations.
