The city of Roanoke has declared itself a “Unique Dining Capital of Texas.”

It’s not terribly unique when your main restaurants are Babe’s Chicken, Hard Eight BBQ and Twisted Root.

But Roanoke also has some chef-driven local restaurants, and they’ll be offering specials Feb. 24-March 2 as part of a Unique Dining Week to support local Meals on Wheels and a food pantry.

The Classic at Roanoke, 504 N. Oak St., will serve a $20 lunch or $49 dinner, with $4 of each lunch or $10 of each dinner going to the hunger charities.

Inzo Italian Kitchen, 101 S. Oak St., will donate 20 percent of sales.

Some other restaurants are donating 6 percent of sales.
