Chef Philippe Schmit Cooks to Benefit Houston Food Bank

Chef Philippe Schmit is participating in Houston Restaurant Weeks for the second year. His restaurant, Philippe Restaurant + Lounge, is a hot spot on Post Oak Boulevard. He shows food radio talk show host Cleverley Stone how to make a delicious summer dish from his Houston Restaurant Weeks menu: Stuffed Beefsteak Tomato with Veal Bolognaise, Summer vegetables, Tomato Coulis, Caper Berries, Basil and Garlic Confit.

Houston Restaurant Weeks takes place from Aug. 1 until Aug. 31, 2012.

Philippe Restaurant + Lounge will donate $3 from each Houston Restaurant Weeks lunch and $5 from each Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner sold to the Houston Food Bank.

The Houston Food Bank, founded in 1982, is a certified member of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network. The organization plans to grow to an annual distribution of 100 million nutritious meals by 2018.
