From affordable multicultural foods to empowering culinary education, these social enterprises are good to eat and good for people. Eating is one of those things that brings people together. Whether it's preparing a delicious meal made of local and sustainable ingredients or going out to eat at a cafe, there are many ways that making food the main star can actually bring out a number more dazzling experiences.
It's time to slow down and take time to learn about your food, where it comes from, who's making it, how much they're getting paid and why. These social enterprise menus are one way to get and stay involved with the world around you. And I bet you'll find out that it's a scrumptious big ol' world out there.
