SOLD OUT Thursday / 6Feast of Santa Lucia of Syracuse with Chef Meredith Kurtzman

Lucy just wanted to be married to God. So, when her betrothed got whiff that she was giving away her dowry to the poor, she was sentenced to a brothel and public humiliation. When they came to take her away, she was so filled with the holy spirit that she could not be moved.Lucy was heavier than a mountain.They tortured her and gouged out her beautiful eyes. She died a martyr. Before her burial, God put her eyes back. Since then, she's saved the Sicilians from famine a bunch of times.At last, another bearer of light in the darkness, Chef MEREDITH KURTZMAN, is cooking up a meal in her honor. Enamored with Santa Lucia, she has been collecting images of the lady with the gouged eyes for years, so feast yours on her Lucia inspired MENU:
