Restaurant Review

One World Everybody Eats at 41 South 300 East in Salt Lake City delights both the gastronomic and the altruistic senses. The fresh, organic menu (with vegan, vegetarian, and meat options) changes daily. Also, customers choose their own portion sizes and their own prices, so they never feel like they are wasting food. Customers can also volunteer an hour of work for a meal if they cannot pay. The staff are friendly, and they know their stuff.

When I visited this neohippie delight, I chose from among the free appetizers quinoa and vegan miso soup. This was followed by some beautiful mixed greens, a delicious and filling lettuce-free salad, some oil-based coleslaw, and stuffed acorn squash. (I had the plain squash, but my companions loved the stuffed squash.) For dessert, they offered delicious pumpkin pie, made the way my family makes it—from the pumpkin up. Everything was delicious, and the southeast-Asian/contemporary-art décor is fun, especially since we could seat ourselves. I felt like I had finally eaten my five-a-day.

Their mission—that everybody eats—is wonderful, and they have wonderful food to back it up. I highly recommend this café.
