Everybody Eats: A Movement - Season 2 Episode 5 with Amoreena Kroup and Giovanna Dubuc - F.A.R.M. Cafe
In the Season Two finale, Renee Boughman flips the mic toward the next generation, talking with two App State students whose lives have been shaped by Farm Cafe from the inside: Giovanna Dubuc, a Farm Cafe intern studying political science and languages, and Amoreena Kroup, a dedicated volunteer studying sustainable community services. What starts as a simple question — how did you find Farm Cafe? — opens into a rich, wide-ranging conversation about what it actually feels like to walk into a space where people are genuinely happy to be there. From navigating difficult interactions with grace beyond their years, to setting boundaries with regulars, to guiding first-time volunteers through knife safety and the art of a proper introduction, Giovanna and Amoreena offer a ground-level view of community cafe life that is both refreshingly honest and deeply moving.

Everybody Eats: A Movement - Season 2 Episode 4 with Jeff and Julie Williams - TASTE Project
In this episode, Renee talks with Jeff and Julie Williams, co-founders of Taste Project in Fort Worth, Texas — one of the largest and most distinctive community cafes in the country. With a full-service, sit-down restaurant model and an ACF-accredited culinary apprenticeship program, Taste Project is doing things a little differently in the pay-what-you-can world. Jeff shares how a persistent calling led him to open Taste Project in 2017, and how a dream — literally — set the wheels in motion for a second location in Arlington, made possible through an unlikely partnership with the city. Julie, who also serves as president of One World Everybody Eats, offers an honest look at what the network means for cafes nationwide and why the "self-sustaining model" myth is one of the first things new cafe founders need to let go of. Jeff WilliamsJeff Williams is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Taste Project. He has always had a passion for cooking, food, and feeding people. Being half Italian, Jeff’s heritage feeds his passion and discovery in the area of Italian cuisine. His vision for Taste Project is different than a growing, profit generating, Italian restaurant. His vision is not a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen, but a place where everyday folks eat; and those who could not afford to eat there could still enjoy a meal in the restaurant. In June 2012, Jeff launched Taste Project, and in December 2017, the organization launched Taste Community Restaurant. Jeff works full-time for Taste Project and attends Gateway Church. Julie WilliamsJulie Williams is the Co-Founder of Taste Project and has helped lead its mission and growth since launching the organization in 2012. With a background in healthcare marketing, Julie brings creativity, strategic vision, and heart to the development of Taste Community Restaurant and future initiatives. Taste Project is a nonprofit organization that fights food insecurity through a pay-what-you-can restaurant model, providing dignified access to healthy meals while creating a welcoming space for people from all walks of life to share a table. Julie currently serves as President of the One World Everybody Eats Board of Directors and is passionate about building strong communities through hospitality, inclusion, and nourishment. She lives in Fort Worth with her husband and co-founder, Jeff, and their son, Brian. Outside of her work, she enjoys running, family time, and being actively involved in her church community.

Everbody Eats: A Movement - Seaon 2 Episode 3 with Jennie Knowlton - Quiltmaker Cafe
Renee talks with Jenny Knowlton, the Executive Director and Founder of the Quiltmaker Cafe in Pittsboro, North Carolina. Named after the beloved children’s book The Quiltmaker’s Gift, the cafe is a testament to the power of patience and community persistence. Jenny shares the candid reality of a five-year journey to find a brick-and-mortar home. Despite many obstacles, Jenny didn't just wait; she spent years building a "tapestry" of support through pop-up meals, food truck events, and deep involvement in the local community. The conversation explores the unique challenges of merging a nonprofit mission with a professional restaurant, the importance of mentorship from other community cafe directors, and why Jenny believes the long wait actually resulted in the perfect downtown location. Jennie Knowlton, Founder and Executive Director of The Quiltmaker Café, began her first nonprofit journey early last year, along with her husband, David, and daughter, Elizabeth. Having experienced food insecurity herself during different periods in her life, childhood, young adulthood and once again when starting her own family, she can personally relate to the dignity that is lost as choices become fewer and fewer. Having always been environmentally conscious, Jennie is excited to combine her passion for reducing waste with her desire to address growing food insecurity in her state by providing a space where all are welcome to a meal and a community. She is grateful for the support and encouragement from the local community in helping make Pittsboro’s first Pay-What-You-Can restaurant possible.
