Everyone comes out a winner in Dining Out For Life at 40 Houston-area restaurants
Dining out for a good cause has never been so easy thanks to the annual fundraising event, Dining Out for Life. Simply head to any of 40 Houston-area restaurants — today only (April 30) — and order up.
Twenty five percent of the day's total sales from participating dining spot will go to AIDS Foundation Houston, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support people living with HIV/AIDS in the Houston community.
The only tough part? Choosing a restaurant. The list of participating eateries offers some stellar choices including Américas - River Oaks, Brasserie 19, Last Concert Cafe and more. (For a full list click here.)
In this week's CultureMap Moment Américas chef David Cordua whips up a serving of cerviche, which is among the restaurant's most popular offerings, and explains why he is participating in the the dining out event. "If there's one thing about Houston, I can't think of a more inclusive and welcoming city, so it's easy to give back," he says.
CultureMap editor-in-chief Clifford Pugh tells Channel 11 morning news anchor Lily Jang, “A Thursday night is fun because you can think of it as the start of the weekend. It’s a great opportunity to go out and try some new restaurants. And with 25 percent of the proceeds going to the AIDS Foundation, everybody comes out a winner.”
