One World: Everybody Eats

The One World Everybody Eats foundation is an outgrowth of One World Cafe in Salt Lake City, Utah. The concept began in mid 2003 when owner Denise Cerreta had an epiphany to serve organic food, let people choose their own portions, and let them price those portions themselves. Since then, she's gained local, national and world-wide notoriety for her pay as you go prices, seasonal no menu organic cuisine, living wages, minimal food waste and healthy meals that are within everyone's reach.

Philosophy meets business through Ms. Cerreta's desire to pay her workers a living wage, as well provide volunteer options for those who would prefer a "hand up" rather than a hand out. For every hour someone gives to our foundation, they can receive a voucher for a full meal, and children under 8 can eat with a parent on the same voucher. Plus, there is always a complimentary staple dish that everyone can eat regardless of means.

Denise and the staff knew the model was successful on the day that there were several people eating, all of whom had volunteered earlier in the week and had redeemed their vouchers. But all were eating anonymously and with dignity. "One World Everybody Eats" is a documentary that is currently in development by Alice Elliott, director of Welcome Change Productions. We want to raise awareness of Ms. Cerreta's efforts and the success of the One World Cafe so that she can realize her dream of seeing a community kitchen open in every city in the world.
