B.B. Italia, which opened in the former Carmelo’s space at 14795 Memorial in May 2019, has temporarily closed as restaurateur Benjamin Berg has decided to move it to a “more suitable space”. (Berg’s other restaurants include B&B Butchers, B.B. Lemon and The Annie Café & Bar.) The new spot — the address of which has not yet been disclosed but it supposed to be just a couple of blocks away — will still be in the Memorial/Energy Corridor area. It is expected to open in a few months.

Ever since Hurricane Harvey hit in 2017, the Southern Smoke Foundation has maintained a fund to help food and beverage workers affected by disaster and unemployment. That existing resource proved extremely helpful as restaurants and bars were shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Now, following a week when a brutal winter storm caused restaurants and other hospitality businesses to shut down once again — meaning a lost week of revenue for employers and lost wages for employees — Southern Smoke Foundation co-founders Chris Shepherd and Lindsey Brown have launched a specific Texas Winter Storm Relief Fund. 

Between the pandemic and the recent freeze that shut down businesses, as well as water and electricity service, the Houston Food Bank has faced a year of enormous demand from Houstonians who desperately need support. To raise funds, through the month of March, Rainbow Lodge is serving a special Food Bank Rescue Menu. It includes the very popular Fried Texas Quail Bites, choice of Pan Seared Snapper or Grilled 10-ounce Bison Ribeye and dessert choice of Croissant Bread Pudding or Chocolate Mousse Torte. It also includes a half-bottle of wine. (Selections are limited and subject to change.) Each meal serves one person for $75, and $5 of each order sold will be donated to the Houston Food Bank. Visit the special menu page to order takeout, or make reservations for dine-in. Call (713) 861-8666 for more information.

Grub Kitchen and Bar has reopened its Katy restaurant. Situated directly off I-10 at 19143 Katy Fwy, this location of the Texas-based craft burger chain has been closed for the bulk of the COVID-19 pandemic. Founded in College Station in 2012, the restaurant is known for its well-priced and creative burgers, along with handcrafted and booze-optional milkshakes. In less than a decade of operation, Grub has expanded into five states, including California and Florida. Houston Food Finder was invited to the pre-opening event to get a look at the space and a taste of the menu.
