Immigrant Food, the new D.C. advocacy-based, 'cause casual' dining concept, gives guests the option to volunteer for local immigration-focused NGOs while enjoying food that reflects more than 40 cultures.
Come for the food, stay for the social impact: A new advocacy-based restaurant opened its doors in D.C. less than a block from the White House—and it wants to make supporting immigrants as easy and interactive as ordering food from a menu.
These “menus” will change frequently, sometimes even on a daily basis, to meet the needs of the affiliated NGOs. Some are seeking translators or paralegals, while others simply need volunteers to help former immigrant detainees learn how to navigate the D.C. metro system. Diners also have the option to add a donation to their bill, which the restaurant later divides and disperses among the organizations.
“We don’t want to be so particular that people try our food and say this is really Italian,” says Limardo. “No, it’s something that reminds you of something from Italy, but then you take another bite and it tastes like something from South Africa.”
