Taste Arlington Restaurant to open in Downtown
The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation is proud to announce a gift of $ 750,000 to Taste Project , a nonprofit bringing its pay-what-you-can community restaurant concept to the heart of Downtown Arlington .
Taste Project , an organization designed to help feed , educate and serve Tarrant County ’ s food insecure residents , has served more than 125,000 diners since its initial Taste Community Restaurant opened in Fort Worth in 2017 .
Funding from the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation will help the nonprofit open its second Taste Community Restaurant on Cooper Street , just north of The University of Texas at Arlington , in 2024 .
Like in Fort Worth , the future Arlington restaurant will have no listed menu prices for its healthy , high-quality meals , which are made from local seasonal ingredients . Instead , diners are asked to pay what they can afford , pay what they would typically pay , or pay what they would typically pay plus a little extra to help a neighbor in need . Additionally , Taste Project will offer its farm and garden program and its culinary job training programs that will provide paid work experience for low-income adults and adults with barriers to employment .
