"FareStart, a nonprofit, is reopening its Denny Triangle restaurant in early July. The restaurant will serve breakfast and lunch and host Guest Chef Nights featuring renowned chefs from Seattle." - Harry Cheadle
"A nonprofit that provides free meals to people in need and job training for those who have suffered from poverty, homelessness, or incarceration, FareStart is a place where chef Wayne Johnson found his involvement ‘recharging’ and that it ‘never felt like work’; Johnson announced his retirement this week but will remain involved with local government and nonprofit initiatives." - Harry Cheadle
"Nonprofit food-training and education center FareStart announced a Juneteenth Guest Chef night on June 9 featuring Joy Sanders of Eagle’s Nest Community Kitchen and Sabrina Tinsley of La Spiga; the chefs will share recipes and personal stories related to Juneteenth and their community work, and registration for the free online event is available on the FareStart website." - Mark Van Streefkerk
"This terrific nonprofit trains and employs people who have struggled with poverty, addiction, and incarceration. Topping out with four stars on Charity Navigator, FareStart opens its flagship restaurant downtown for weekday lunches and Guest Chef Night dinners on Thursdays. The menu shifts seasonally, spotlighting flavors like five-spice duck cannelloni with panang curry and stinging nettles. But it also maintains a steady heartbeat of classic dishes like grilled salmon, rosemary turkey, and vegetable polenta topped with marinara sauce and a sunny-side-up egg. Thanks in part to Amazon donations, Farestart has expanded into four other locations: Maslow's, Rise, Café @ 2100 and the Café @ PacTower. Reservations are highly recommended at the main restaurant and can be made online."
