Eats Beat

At this Fort Worth restaurant, you decide the price, and the fall menu is ready

It’s fall at Taste Community Restaurant, the pay-as-you-can breakfast-lunch cafe.

The new fall menu premiered this week, offering cinnamon-apple breakfast pancakes and sweet-potato soup.

The restaurant is an effort by the Taste Project, a 501(c)3 charity operating the restaurant as a nonprofit where donors can pay what they would normally expect to pay in any restaurant, plus support meals for those who are hungry.

Starting its third year in November, Taste Community Restaurant has broadened its appeal and become a popular stop for weekend brunch.

The new fall brunch menu will feature an apple-and-brie spinach salad, bacon-and-brie burger with pickled apple and arugula, roast sweet potatoes with quinoa-mushrooms and six other dishes.

The brunch desserts are a cherry-pecan bread pudding or an apple-rum cake.

The daily lunch menu is similar but also includes an Italian sausage sandwich, a chicken schnitzel platter and other dishes.

Breakfast continues with apple-pecan oatmeal or pancakes.

Taste Community Restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday for breakfast and lunch, weekends for brunch; 817-759-9045, tasteproject.org.
