The family-owned seafood restaurant \u2014 known for its scratch-made coastal favorites \u2014 will honor first responders, healthcare professionals and educators throughout 2026 by providing catered meals as a heartfelt thank-you for their service.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative begins with a seasonal focus: first responders from January through April, nurses and hospital staff from May through August, and teachers and school staff from September through December. The program officially kicked off earlier this year with meals served to the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire Station No. 4.<\/p>\n<p>Founded by Chef Brett Curtis, Dock Local has long emphasized hospitality as a core value \u2014 and\u00a0Lunches for Legends\u00a0extends that spirit beyond the restaurant walls. Guests can participate by adding a $10 \u201cTreat a Legend to Lunch\u201d contribution at checkout, helping fund future meals while supporting local organizations making a meaningful impact. Community members can also nominate deserving teams through Dock Local\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"author\">by<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southlakestyle.com\/topics\/cynthia-sklodowski\/\" rel=\"author nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cynthia Naugher, Editor<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"date\">February 12, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"time\">2:55 PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dock Local\u00a0inside Harvest Hall is turning gratitude into action with the launch of\u00a0Lunches for Legends, a year-long community&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[29922,102,104,103,49],"class_list":["post-164116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-cynthia-naugher-editor","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
