Since when did eating equate to feeding others? Since 2003. Houstonians have been filling their stomachs at local restaurants while donating to the Houston Food Bank for the past 6 years through Houston Restaurant Week, founded by Cleverley Stone of “The Cleverley Show” on CNN 650 Radio News.
Houstonians, we are number one! Yes, yes,ooooooh YES! Ahead of the other "major cities" and not due to our BMI indexes.
