DFW Restaurant Week is almost back to full speed in 2021.
The annual event, with a 20% cut given to local charities North Texas Food Bank and Lena Pope, kicks off Aug. 6 with about 100 restaurants participating.
"The funds from Restaurant Week will help children who are in need of counseling and emotional and behavioral support receive the care that they need to receive," Lena Pope CEO Ashley Elgin said. "I think that over the past 22 years we have raised over $2 million that have helped to support our clinical programs specifically – those that cannot afford counseling services receive counseling free of charge."
In 2020, just over 90 restaurants participated in a late, scaled-back version of Restaurant Week. But in 2021, the event, in its 24th year, is back to normal fanfare, offering special menus throughout August.
