We have some exciting changes to announce for this year’s Restaurant Round-Up. We’re taking the event and expanding it to an entire month of promoting the best of Texas all across the state. Join other GO TEXAN member restaurants to show your support of local Texas food and beverage producers by hosting an eat-local event at your restaurant, or by featuring a special Texas-themed menu or menu item, during the month of July 2015.

How can your restaurant get involved?

Step 1: Let GO TEXAN help you determine what kind of event is right for your restaurant brand, goals and community. Click here to fill out the survey to see examples of events, get ideas and request free promotional materials to use during your event.

Step 2: GO TEXAN puts the call out to the network of fellow members to find partners to help create and promote an amazing event to celebrate Texas food and beverage at your restaurant location.

Step 3: GO TEXAN delivers contact information for interested members to you so you can move forward with the planning and provide you with a flyer to help advertise it.

Step 4: Your restaurant and member partners will all advertise the event, as will TDA, through social media marketing and promotional efforts, including a custom event listing for you on the event website, www.GOTEXANRestaurantRoundup.com.

If you’d rather not host an event, you can still participate in Restaurant Round-Up! GO TEXAN can instead help you think of ideas to highlight local food and beverage on your menu, or create a new menu special, for the month of July.

Food Bank Collaboration:
For this month-long celebration, TDA is once again partnering with the Texas Food Bank Network. Each restaurant hosting an event or menu feature will include their local food bank in a way that pays an immediate benefit to the bank, such as having can donation bins onsite, or collecting money during the event to donate. In this survey below, you may offer your chef to be pitched by TDA to local news media, along with your local food bank representative, for cooking or interview segments. Feel free to also publicize your participation in the GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up month, highlighting not only your support of local farmers, but also your commitment to feeding hungry Texans.

This survey has 10 questions; please answer them all. For participation questions, contact Wendy Womack at (512) 463-7170 or Wendy.Womack@TexasAgriculture.gov.
