Drive-Thru Culinary Blessings at St. Catherine of Siena

Written by Mary Leigh Fitzmorris March 25, 2020 11:00 in Delicious Places

Every day we notice that some of the best drive-thru food in town is found in the parking lot at St. Catherine of Siena, of all places. So we investigated and found that each day, restaurants in some way affiliated with the school are popping up in the parking lot to share their goods in a different part of town. Metairie, you don't want to miss these options! Below you'll find their schedule for the week, or you can follow it on their website.
