On Tuesday\u2019s show: We learn why some local restaurants are choosing to do their own versions<\/a> of Houston Restaurant Weeks<\/a>, which is underway during the month of August and runs through Sept. 7. The event raises funds for the Houston Food Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sign up for the Hello, Houston!<\/a> daily newsletter to get local reports like this delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n

Also this hour: In this month’s installment of The Full Menu<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Then, we learn about The Magnolia Fund<\/a>, described as the \u201creal estate investment fund for the rest of us.\u201d It takes small investments and groups them together to fund bigger projects as a way for neighbors to invest in their own communities.<\/p>\n

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>, a family-owned comic book company using original stories to help students build literacy skills.<\/p>\n

Audio from today\u2019s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here<\/a>, on iTunes<\/a>, Stitcher<\/a> and other apps.<\/p>\n
