Brennan's of Houston Launches a Snoball Fight for Charity
WHAT: Houston's heat can be unbearable in the summer and there is no better way to cool off than with a snoball at Brennan's of Houston. For two weeks, the restaurant has partnered with local charities SEARCH, Alley Theatre, YDC: Youth Development Center, and Scout's Honor Rescue to compete in a flavor challenge. Each organization chose its signature flavor, and guests will have an opportunity to taste complimentary mini snoballs after enjoying a meal at the restaurant and vote on their favorite.
The sophisticated cousin to the snowcone, the snoball is finely shaven ice soaked in sweet syrups first invented by the Hansen family in New Orleans with an innovative ice shaving machine in 1939. The snoball is light and melts in your mouth, and you can get just about anything you want on top.
The snoball flavor with most votes at the end of the two weeks snoball fight will be featured on the restaurant's menu for the remainder of summer and win $1,000 for its corresponding organization.
