Good afternoon. It's Thursday, Aug. 16. I'm Elise Randall, and here's your local news from the Austin American-Statesman. Our top story: Austin Restaurant Weeks start today. Through Sept. 3, diners in Austin will have a chance to eat at some of the top restaurants while supporting the local community. More than 80 restaurants in the area are serving fixed menus with a portion of proceeds directly benefiting the Central Texas Food Bank.
