[Also, everyone else should take note that we’re having a GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up, aka statewide dine-out day. Mark your calendar for October 1!]
Texans will be invited to dine at their favorite GO TEXAN Restaurant to enjoy the foods and wines from the Lone Star State during the first-ever statewide dine-out day, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting local food banks.
Launched in January 2008, the GO TEXAN Restaurant Program already has signed up more than 300 establishments such as Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, the Bill Miller Bar-B-Q chain and the landmark Driskill Grill in Austin. To qualify, establishments must be located in Texas and serve Texas products.
“The GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the restaurant owners and chefs who care about serving the freshest local ingredients and who pride themselves on Texas quality,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said.
The GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up also kicks off Texas Wine Month in October.
A restaurant interested in becoming a GO TEXAN Restaurant and participating in the Oct. 1 dine-out day can go to www.GOTEXANRestaurantRoundUp.com for more information.
