Here Are the Los Angeles Restaurants Donating to Houston Relief Efforts Right Now

It’s impossible to ignore the ongoing devastation in Houston and the greater Gulf Coast following Hurricane Harvey, which is precisely why many local Los Angeles-area restaurants are turning to their own cash registers to help. And, just by showing up, supporting, and getting a bit of food, local diners can help too.

Below is a list of restaurants, bars, and other eateries doing what they can to support relief efforts across Texas right now. Eater will do its best to keep this list updated (and feel free to add more known charity details in the comments below) and relevant with still-active promotions.

HomeState - Los Feliz

Texas-loving HomeState has turned on the charity button with a new exclusive taco called the Don’t Mess With Texas. It’s $5, and all proceeds between now and the end of the year will benefit the Central Texas Food Bank.

Cake Monkey — Beverly Grove

Beverly Boulevard bakery Cake Monkey is donating 50% of proceeds from any drink sales this weekend, and the money is going straight to the Houston Food Bank and Houston Humane Society.

Bludso’s — La Brea

Barbecue option Bludso’s is getting in on the action, donating 10% of all sandwich sales the week of September 10 to Portlight Strategies, a group that works with people with disabilities to find shelter and medical supplies.

Osteria Mozza — Melrose

Osteria Mozza on Melrose is donating all proceeds from sales of their tagliatelle with oxtail ragu to the American Red Cross. That deal is ongoing through the end of the month, which means there’s plenty of time to stop in and help give back.

Beer Belly — Koreatown/Long Beach

Beer Belly is getting in on the Houston relief action with a donation drive. Anyone who comes by with items to donate (there’s a list of possible things to bring below) will get a beer for just $1.

Sotto — West LA

Starting today, chef Craig Towe of Sotto will have a weekend-long special creste di gallo (dry-aged beef and pork ragu with whipped ricotta and chives) for $28, with all proceeds going to Houston.

Howlin’ Ray’s — Chinatown

Today Howlin’ Ray’s in Chinatown will be donating all net proceeds to the Houston Food Bank. That’s no small change given how successful that restaurant is, especially when one considers that they did the same thing yesterday too.

Break of Dawn — Laguna Hills

Orange County pop-up Break of Dawn is doing a joint dinner with Sysco to raise money for relief efforts. It’s called Meat Me in Texas and it runs Saturday, September 22.

Email (dee.breakofdawn@gmail.com) for tickets.
