"Bread pudding is a traditional New Orleans dessert; Cafe Reconcile supercharges the idea by making it Bread Pudding Bananas Foster, adding bananas, rum, and a ribbon of chocolate to the concept."
Michael Stern
"It is no surprise to find macaroni and cheese on meat-and-three menus throughout the South. New Orleans chefs tend to make it vaguely Italian by using thinner noodles. This photo gives some idea of just how lusciously luxurious the dish can be: a Cafe Reconcile Must-Eat!"
Michael Stern
"Inconspicuously listed among the available soups, Cafe Reconcile's chicken and sausage gumbo is one of the deepest and most delicious versions of the dish anywhere in the city."
Michael Stern
"Good for sopping and mopping and for crumbling over servings of collard greens, this corn bread is also very wonderful eaten all by itself."
Michael Stern
"Collard greens are always among the ten vegetables on the Cafe Reconcile lunch menu, making a plate of only vegetables an excellent idea ... except that it deprives you of the opportunity to eat the kitchen's fine fried chicken, pork roast, pot roast, pork chops, or shrimp etouffee."
Michael Stern
"Dense and crunchy, this peach cobbler is notable for its not being saccharine-sweet."
Michael Stern
"This place is way more than a lunch destination. Its mission statement is: "To fuel economic vitality and growth in Central City and the greater New Orleans metropolitan area by working together with businesses, nonprofit organizations, and people of faith to create jobs, support community development through youth workforce development programs, and encourage entrepreneurship and home ownership in socio-economically depressed neighborhoods, through the ministry of reconciliation.""

"The April 2009 Dessert of the Month: strawberry shortcake. Made with local berries. "

"The additional shrimp made smothered okra a pleasant change from the fried okra found in other Southern regions."
