First Slice proprietor Mary Ellen Diaz sells gourmet
take-out meals to the general public to finance her
real mission: offering the same high-quality grub to
the homeless. During the year subscribers pay $30 a
week over 10 or 12 weeks for three square meals, or
$65 for a family of three. During the holidays though,
Diaz is offering a special: $45 for three family meals.
Dishes might include roasted salmon with Thai
curry, spinach and butternut squash lasagna, and
chocolate-peanut butter pie. | firstslice.org | 4401 N. Ravenswood, 773-506-7380
