Are you a native NYer?
Those specials still run during Lent up here in Albany (and I would imagine in many other cities where they want to 'cash in' on an 'event'). What bothers me most is that throughout the year, my KofC Council insists on serving up meat at their Friday dinners. I tried to approach them on this topic but they scoffed at me. (I attribute that more to the local bishop than to them. They are just as ignorant as was I for 40 years).
I was a 4th degree up until 5 years ago when I got tired of the work to be done and a few other things. Real big problem to me was having the Home open on Good Friday. The beer still flowed like water.
