On Tuesday’s show: We learn why some local restaurants are choosing to do their own versions of Houston Restaurant Weeks, which is underway during the month of August and runs through Sept. 7. The event raises funds for the Houston Food Bank.

Also this hour: In this month’s installment of The Full Menu, food writers talk about what local restaurants that are participating in HRW are offering on their menus this year and what they’re looking forward to sampling.
Then, we learn about The Magnolia Fund, described as the “real estate investment fund for the rest of us.” It takes small investments and groups them together to fund bigger projects as a way for neighbors to invest in their own communities.
And superheroes can do more than save the day. They can also inspire a love of reading. We meet the Houston couple behind Adroit Comics, a family-owned comic book company using original stories to help students build literacy skills.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
