The biggest culinary event in Houston is right around the corner—Houston Restaurant Weeks! And while it’s definitely a food lover’s dream, it’s also something much more: the largest annual fundraiser for the Houston Food Bank, the biggest food bank in the country.

This incredible event was the brainchild of the late Cleverley Stone, a beloved media personality and true champion of Houston’s dining scene. Cleverley believed deeply in the power of food to do good—and her simple idea has grown into a citywide tradition that’s raised millions to help fight hunger.


After Cleverley passed away in 2020, her daughter Katie Stone stepped in to carry on the mission. Today, we’re sitting down for a lively conversation with Katie—who’s not only keeping her mother’s legacy alive, but making sure that no Houstonian goes hungry.
