Profits from their lunchtime sales from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday will go to the Hispanic Center to provide Thanksgiving dinners for 40 families. Their goal is to raise $1,000 in a day.

Joining them in this endeavor are their good friends Timothy Medina and Jihan.

"We wanted to do something to give back to the local community," Oberhammer said.

"We wanted to see the faces of the people we are helping," Arias added.

The Rice and Beans menu is, well, rice and beans, of course, but you can choose slow-cooked beef or stewed chicken to go along with it. To see the menu, click here.
