HOUSTON, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 22, 2013, with the support of both its hometown area Luby's and Fuddruckers branded restaurants, Houston-based Luby's Inc. helped to raise thousands of dollars earmarked for tornado disaster relief in neighboring Oklahoma.  In total, the dining for dollars initiative generated $22,500 in a four-hour window.  Luby's Inc. collected $18,500 for the American Red Cross, while a partnership with CBS Radio Houston affiliates earned an additional $4,000 in funds for the "Houston Helps: Money For Moore" donation drive and food event.

Luby's, the iconic cafeteria chain, and Fuddruckers, a landmark fast casual brand, have a combined history of nearly 100 years in Texas and have long had ties to Oklahoma with locations of both restaurants in that market.
