What is the official food of October in Aggieland: 50 cent wings, pumpkin pie, or something served alongside a great glass of wine?
In College Station, October can feel like summer at lunchtime, football season all weekend, and fall everywhere else. That makes it the perfect month for cold drinks, game-day food, seasonal dinners and just enough pumpkin-related chaos to convince ourselves the weather is changing.
Southern Charm Hospitality has a full October planned at PORTERS Dining + Bar, Juanita's Tex-Mex Cantina, and Red's Ice House in Century Square. Here is what's coming up:
All Month: Spirit of the Square
Century Square's Spirit of the Square celebration runs from October 1 through November 16, with a featured selection available at each restaurant:
October 22: Southern Charm Fall Crawl
Bring the family to Century Square for a fall afternoon spanning all three restaurants:
