Lunch on Thursdays
Eat in or get it to go.
There are many organizations in Houston that offer events open to the general public. But none draws a larger crowd, on a regular basis, than the Thursday spaghetti lunch at Whitney Hall by the Sacred Heart Society of West Little York.
The tradition began in 1953 and continues today. The Sicilian/Italian lunch menu is a favorite of many in the Houston area. For over 50 years, the Whitney Oaks Hall is packed with people from Houston, Galveston, Tomball, Bryan and other surrounding areas.
Individuals from all walks of life can be observed - office personnel, truck drivers, lawyers, judges, small business owners, professors, deputy sheriffs, salespersons, etc. Everyone at the Hall enjoys the Sicilian/Italian fair. The food, conversation, and fellowship are unique.
What draws so many people on a regular basis? The answer seems to be "The Sugo" (Pronounced (Sue-Gah)
The men of the Society prepare the spaghetti sauce (sugo) and meatballs as they have for over 50 years with very little change in the recipe. The sauce is cooked in 35-gallon stainless steel vats, which are attended to by men of the organization. There are usually six large pots of boiling water for the spaghetti.
The desserts are baked by ladies of the women's auxiliary.
