No bill shared at St Francis Cafe where faith guides food
In Ybor City Tampa the St Francis Cafe serves meals with a donation envelope instead of a bill. Owners Lisa and Bruce Sizemore rely on faith and gifts, feeding the poor and offering creative dishes while planning relocation as a multi screen theater rises nearby. Community regulars praise the cafe as a church like haven amid urban change.
