As the culinary event Eat Drink HTX 2026 approaches, two noteworthy restaurants from the Clear Lake area are set to showcase their delightful offerings. This year’s edition will feature Athena’s Corner in Seabrook and Noon Mirch Kitchen and Bar in Webster, both of which have earned a reputation for their unique flavors.
Located at 2900 East NASA Parkway in Seabrook, Athena’s Corner is a Greek restaurant that promises a memorable dining experience. Owners Dimitrios and Maria Haronitis are excited to present some of their signature dishes, including their famous Athena’s chips, along with fried zucchini and eggplant slices, all served with two delicious dipping sauces.
Just a short drive away in Webster, Noon Mirch Kitchen + Bar has been a family-owned establishment since 1989. With the second generation now running the kitchen, the restaurant continues to serve authentic Indian cuisine while also introducing innovative fusion dishes. Owners Navul and Annika Nanda shared insights about their lunch and dinner menus for Eat Drink HTX, reflecting on the restaurant’s rich history and future aspirations.
Noon Mirch Kitchen + Bar, located at 505 East NASA Parkway, offers a diverse menu that ranges from their spicy Death Wings to delectable Naan Chips, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The menus for Eat Drink HTX 2026 will be available on the event’s official website on February 1st. This much-anticipated event, which benefits the Houston Food Bank, will take place from February 15 to 26, 2026. It’s a wonderful opportunity to indulge in exceptional cuisine while supporting a great cause.
Eat Drink HTX is returning for its fifth year, providing diners with access to fantastic meal deals similar to those offered during Houston Restaurant Weeks. Katie Stone, host of “Foodies & Friends,” recently discussed the upcoming event with Tom Zizka, bringing attention to the exciting culinary experiences that await.
The Cleverley Stone Foundation, which produces “Foodies & Friends,” continues the legacy of Cleverley Stone, a passionate advocate for combating hunger in the Houston area. Stone’s mantra, “Dine Out & Do Good,” has inspired a significant annual increase in restaurant revenues and contributions to the Houston Food Bank.
Sadly, Cleverley Stone passed away on May 28, 2020, after a courageous battle with cancer. Her wish was for Houston Restaurant Weeks to be sustained in her honor, leading to the establishment of the Cleverley Stone Foundation by her daughter, Katie. This foundation aims to carry on her mission of supporting the Houston Food Bank, which has raised over $22 million in the past 21 years to address hunger issues in the community.
Both Eat Drink HTX and Houston Restaurant Weeks stand as the largest annual fundraising events for the nation’s largest food bank, which serves an 18-county area in southeast Texas.
Mark your calendars for Eat Drink HTX from February 15 to 28, 2026, and Houston Restaurant Weeks from August 1 to September 7, 2026, to enjoy great food while making a positive impact.
