You Better Reconcile

Want your dining dollars to go further than the bottom line? Why not stop in for lunch at Cafe Reconcile this week and support a program which helps young people learn to help themselves. Founded by the late, great Rev. Harry Thompson, S.J., Reconcile offers a path of hope for those less fortunate than most of us. It's a Jesuit thing that we like to call "men for others."

The food is good and cheap, but our waitress let us in on a few inside tips as to what's best. The staff is only allowed to eat the fried menu items on Fridays, and she said that's a good thing because otherwise she would eat nothing but the fried catfish everyday. That sold me, and she was right because that cooked to order filet made a great po-boy. You can't go wrong with red beans on Monday, and the baked chicken with 2 sides is a steal at $7. I'm partial to the mac and cheese made with spaghetti.

The bananas foster bread pudding though is excellent no matter how you look at it.
