This Soup Kitchen Is Disguised As A Restaurant So The Homeless Can Dine With Dignity
March 4, 2016
*** begin quote ***
The Kansas City Community Kitchen is changing the way soup kitchens serve food. The process includes greeters and servers just like a typical sit-down restaurant, which makes the homeless feel like part of the community.
*** and ***
The menu was created by executive chef Michael Curry, the owner of the Kansas City restaurant, Lil' Bubba, who once lived in poverty and ate at soup kitchens himself.

What a great idea!
From the video, it looks like I’d like to dine there.
At least, maybe we should patronize the fellow’s public restaurant.

Her brother, Taylor, holds the University of Michigan indoor 400 mark, sister Morgan ran at St. Peter’s University, and her mother ran the 400 in high school. As for her father, Willie? Just an All-American for Manhattan College who made the 400 semis at the 1984 Olympic Trials. And at this month’s trials, he and Mary were there supporting Sydney as her nerves threatened to get the best of her.
“The Olympic Trials is the single most stressful thing I’ve ever done in my life. You can’t understand the level of stress these athletes go through,” Willie said. “We always talk about [the Olympics] happening, but not so soon. We knew there was an outside chance of her making it … [and] she ended up getting on the team.”
