Here’s a look at this weekend’s tasty food and drink happenings:
Fight Hunger. End Waste. Food & Beverage Series
All month long
Local food rescue nonprofit Second Servings has created the inaugural “Fight Hunger. End Waste.” food and beverage series for April. All month long, 15 of Houston’s favorite restaurants — including One Fifth, Local Foods, ’93 Til, Roots Wine Bar, Hando, El Topo and more — will showcase a zero-waste dish or cocktail, each with a small donation attached to benefit Second Servings. For every dollar donated, $50 worth of food is delivered to a local charity through Second Servings’ food rescue efforts.
