It's that time of year again when every dog has its day. Some of the city's most talented chefs support an evening of culinary, canine fun. One-of-a-kind gingerbread/edible doghouses will be on display, judged on creativity and overall appeal, then auctioned off to benefit Lucky Dog Rescue.

Guests will enjoy a sampling of cocktails and hors d'oeuvres — plus milk and cookies for the kids — courtesy of Royals Sonesta Hotel Houston.
