Brighter Bites Double Dips into Houstonia Magazine

On Sunday night, Houstonia magazine held its first ever Secret Supper at La Table in the Galleria/Uptown section of Houston benefiting Brighter Bites. La Table was named the Best New Restaurant in Houston by the magazine’s Restaurant Critic Alice Levitt.

The location of the dinner was kept a secret until ticket holders found out where they were going early on Sunday morning. Dinner was served in two seatings and among the best dishes were the Roasted Beet Salad, Roasted Chicken, Caramelized Carrots, and Warm Apple Tart. In addition to sampling delicious food and wine, attendees had the opportunity to bid on a raffle that included dinner for two at La Table, two Brighter Bites t-shirts, and two Brighter Bites Nalgene water bottles. Brighter Bites is honored to have received all proceeds from donations and raffle tickets.

In addition to dining at Houston’s Best New Restaurant, attendees received a copy of the newest issue of the magazine, which includesa wonderful article about Brighter Bites. Reporter, Roxanna Asgarian interviewed Brighter Bites Founders Lisa Helfman and Shreela Sharma as well as Executive Director Sam Newman. Roxanna visited two Brighter Bites sites in Houston this summer, observing both produce baggings and distributions and speaking with parents who receive Brighter Bites and volunteer their time with the program.

Overall it was a great night of good food, good will, and good reads.
