Houston Restaurant Week 2008 was such a success that 25 restaurants have extended their offers for an additional seven days, meaning that even more money will be raised to help end hunger in Houston.  Through Sunday, August 24th, diners can enjoy a delicious three-course gourmet dinner for just $35 per person and the restaurants will donate $5 from each meal to Houston’s End Hunger Network.

To view menus from participating restaurants, visit the Houston Restaurant Week Web site. Houston restaurant journalist and radio show host Cleverley Stone is the chairwoman and co-founder of Houston Restaurant Week.

Three of the restaurants that extended their participation in the program are Downtown Aquarium, OpenCity and Cafe Annie.
