Lunch Options at
Houstonfest
There will be no need for
lunch options at Houstonfest in 2021 because the contest will be conducted
remotely, but this page remains here for future use.
In 2020, we had the
Sauer Kraut Food Truck
(German food), the Berlin Food Factory
(German food), and the
Kabob Cafe on Wheels
(Persian/Mediterranean food). Heights
High School also had a concession stand. We will likely have similar
arrangements in future years. |
