Last night we headed out West to St. Ferdinand Church for their Lenten Fish Fry which just so happened to be Elvis Night. I’ve been searching for a church Fish Fry since the last one I went to in Columbus was all out of fish back in 2006. The fish at St. Ferdinand wasn’t the best (I’d say it was frozen/middle school lunch-esq) but the atmosphere was top notch. First off the place was packed and you couldn’t find parking for a couple blocks. There were at least two different banquet type rooms that we could see both had their own bar. The bar by the way probably served the cheapest beer in all of Chicago: $1.50 Miller Light (no tip jar). Also, they were hocking girl scout cookies and carmel apples as soon as you walked in the door. Elvis worked the crowd and took requests all the while handing out scarfs to old ladies.
Needless to say St. Ferdinand has their act together when it comes to a Fish Fry.
