How I haven’t heard of this, I’m not really sure, but today I read about a unique restaurant in Salt Lake City called One World Cafe. It sounds like this place goes against everything that you might think of as typical restaurant behavior.If you go and eat there, don’t expect a check at the end of your meal. That’s because YOU decide what to pay for your meal. You tell them what size portion you want (you won’t want to leave half your meal on the plate when you’re done), and then you pay what you think is fair. This means that there’s rarely any wasted food, and that you only eat what you want and nothing more.
If you’re wondering how they stay in business, you’ll be pleased to know that many customers pay MORE than what they feel their meal was worth. In addition, if someone volunteers their time for an hour, they will receive a voucher for a free meal.
One World Cafe’s vision statement is as follows:
* We are dedicated to eliminating world hunger.
* We are dedicated to serving organic unprocessed food.
* We are dedicated to feeding and including all members of our community.
* We are dedicated to eliminating waste in the food industry.
* We believe that we can trust our customers to be inspired, honest and fair in their exchange of money and/or work for the fresh, gourmet, organic food we prepare both mindfully and in a heartfelt way each day.
* We will keep believing …

Out of courtesy to my wife, I have to announce to those who may not have heard the buzz, that The Cheesecake Factory is opening its Salt Lake City restaurant on Thursday. She’s been waiting for this for a long time.She took me to eat there when we were in San Diego last month and I must admit that it wasn’t too bad. I especially liked the atmosphere, the food was good, and of course I’d be hard pressed to find their cheesecake’s equal. I think I got the stuffed chicken tortillas, which were very good, and my wife got the tasty miso salmon. I’ve tried many a salmon and this one is right up there at the top of my list.
I remember last year there was a big story in the news that The Cheesecake Factory and Crate and Barrel would not come to Utah because we didn’t have a population with at least 35 percent college graduates. I don’t know if the numbers went up, but I’m glad that at least one of them decided to come to Utah anyway. With the amount of people that go out to eat in this state, I think a establishing a reputable restaurant is a pretty safe bet.
