ABOUT FEAST WITH THE BEASTS  

Launched in the fall of 2006 as a fundraiser for the Houston Zoo, Feast with the Beasts was an instant hit! The Zoo’s naturally wild environment and 6,000 animals offer an unprecedented venue for this wine, beer and food event.
  • The 2006 event had 33 restaurant participants. The event has grown to feature more than 50 Houston-area restaurants, all serving their best dish.
  • In 2008 we added the Beastly Battle – a chance for guests to vote for their favorite cuisine. In 2009 we added a Dessert Corner featuring sweet treats.
  • We had record attendance at the 2010 event, and tickets sold out weeks in advance. With great restaurants like Taste of Texas, Crapitto's Cucina Italiana, The Melting Pot and more, plus a rockin' show by the Spin Doctors, Feast with the Beasts was the place to be! 

This year’s event features 65 of Houston’s hottest restaurants, a craft beer selection in the Zoo Brew Garden presented by Saint Arnolds, special animal presentations and feedings presented by H-E-B, and a live performance by The B-52s.
