The meat ’n’ three is a modern adaptation of the farmworker’s midday meal, served from a steam table to city Southerners
who pine for a taste of the country cooking their parents and grandparents left behind. Founded more than 70 years ago,
Silver Sands Cafe feeds the Hope Gardens neighborhood. Sophia Vaughn, the third-generation owner, rises each day as early
as 3 a.m. to cook down collards, stir meatloaf, and mix salmon croquettes. She works to feed her family and her community.
The fierce love she broadcasts to all who gather comes for free.
