During HRW, a portion of the customer's bill goes to the Houston Food Band ($7 of the $45 meals, $5 of the $35 meals and $3 of the $20 and $22 meals). To date, the HRW has raised over $9.6 million since if first started in 2008. Those millions have given almost 29 million meals to neighbors in need. 250 participating restaurants and their menus http://www.houstonrestaurantweeks.com/PrintRestaurantList/
I just came from B & B butchers for a birthday dinner and I think that place is overrated when compared to other steakhouse. I order the filet and my gf has the aged bone in ribeye medium rare and the steak was very bland and needed a better sear on the outside. The best thing there is the appetizer sizzlin bacon
Agreed. This is exactly how I felt about B & B butchers when I went last year for HRW. Everything was meh but that bacon appetizer was amazing. Don't know if I would go back to B&B even for HRW.
You're sad they closed, others are excited about the constant re-imagining. It is what it is. I'm gonna side with y'alls BOY BigTex on this one, Restaurant Week is for ROOKIES.
Ya think it has fallen off a bit the last few years. A ton of chains and cheaper restaurants getting into the mix. Obviously a good cause but seems like every restaurant is just throwing together a caesar salad + cheesecake and charging you more than you'd normally spend there. Not saying you have to eat there but 3 Maggianos, 4 Cyclones, 6 Churrascos, and even Ragin' Cajuns are kinda overkill. Love me some El Tiempo but don't think I'd normally spend $35 on food alone there.
