Alex Brennan Martin tells the story of his Irish family, owning New Orleans French restaurants living the American dream.
Katie Stone sits with Brennan’s co-proprietor Alex Brennan Martin. Highlighting some of the new renovations that still manages to keep the old familiar feel and traditions of the almost 60 year old Houston restaurant, Alex also explains what makes Irish whiskey special, and entertains us all with family St. Patrick’s Day stories and traditions.
From March 14- 17 Brennan’s is offering a fixed price 3 course dinner featuring either corned beef and cabbage or fish and chips as the main course. A special green dessert awaits diners and includes a little “leprechaun trash”.

Affectionately called “The Diva of Dining,” Cleverley Stone made it her life’s mission to beat hunger in Houston and support local restaurants. She created Houston Restaurant Week in 2003, which has now expanded to a 4 week-long dining experience. “Dine Out & Do Good” was Stone’s mantra, and her tireless efforts spurred an annual citywide boom in restaurant revenues and contributions to The Houston Food Bank.
Houston Restaurants Weeks takes place August 1st through Labor Day every year.
Houston Restaurant Weeks and its sister event Eat Drink HTX is the largest annual fundraiser for the nation’s largest food bank. The Houston Food Bank services an 18-county area in southeast Texas.
