Little time was wasted when the New Orleans restaurant community, remembering the assistance that New Orleans received after Hurricane Katrina, have begun raising funds to reciprocate the favorite. In the next couple of money, you will see many creative efforts to help Houstonians. A great example of this is what the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group has planned for this weekend. This Saturday and Sunday (September 2 and 3), five of Ralph's restaurants have a special menu of desserts and cocktails. All of the money taken in from selling these items will go to the Hurricane Harvey Hospitality Employee Relief Fund, administered by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. This organization was formed after Hurricane Katrina, and resulted in helping many displaced restaurant people to stay in New Orleans after K. Now it has revived itself toward the same ends, but in Houston. We owe them one.
