ecently, an article was written in the Philadelphia Inquirer, celebrating the caterer who provides food for Open Table Saturday at Chester Eastside. Everybody Eats Café in Chester is just opening, however the chefs, Stephanie Willis and Malik Ali have been active providing food in the community for some time. Two years ago, when Chester Eastside was looking to revitalize their hot meals program, they initiated a partnership with Everybody Eats, still a catering service out of Chef Willis’ home. Now the business is thriving, and they have opened a location in downtown Chester.

We are sharing this article with you to celebrate the creative partnering that is happening here between Everybody Eats and several of SPC’s partners in Chester, including Chester Eastside and Making a Change Group. All who have volunteered with Open Table Saturday can testify to the good food provided, so take this as encouragement to try this new restaurant in our area and continue supporting the strength of creative partnering in our community.
