Treating yourself to a steak dinner downtown will mean something more in a matter of weeks.
DFW Restaurant Week is set for Aug. 31 – Sept. 6 (with an option to extend through Sept. 27), and on Tuesday, the event announced this year's participants.
The 2020 roster includes downtown favorites like Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse and The Capital Grille, as well as first-timers like Gemelle and Fire Oak Grill in Weatherford.
Participating restaurants will offer both dine-in and take-out options, including three-course prix fixe dinners for either $39 or $49, and two-course lunches for just $19. For each meal purchased, restaurants will donate 10% back to North Texas Food Bank or Lena Pope, an organization that offers behavioral and mental health services to children and families.
DFW Restaurant Week is one of Lena Pope's largest annual fundraisers, helping raise more than $2.2 million for the organization since 1998. In 2019, the event and its 162 restaurant participants raised a record $1 million for its charity partners, $289,070 of which came to Lena Pope.
"This year, we’d be fortunate to see a quarter of that,” Lena Pope CEO Ashley Elgin said in a statement. “We hope our local residents will see this as an opportunity to give back and open their hearts and wallets to support these benevolent Tarrant County restaurants and our hundreds of families in-need. It’s a win-win.”
