Conscious Eatery: Serving Up Hope One Sandwich at a Time

What we do with the restaurant is because I'm basically helping out people like my mother, people like my brother and my dad, who fell on hard times, and that makes it all the more worthwhile, right?
What if every sandwich you bought could help someone in need? That’s the incredible mission behind Conscious Eatery, Seattle's philanthropic sandwich shop. In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, hosts from Imperfect Foods sit down with Cierra and Chaz, the dynamic duo behind this inspiring initiative. They’ve already donated over 25,000 meals and have built a robust network of nonprofits to tackle hunger and homelessness in America. But their journey doesn’t stop at just feeding the hungry.
Cierra and Chaz dive deep into their own experiences with homelessness, shedding light on the often misunderstood aspects of hunger and housing issues in modern America. They emphasize that the first step to solving homelessness is listening to the diverse stories of those affected. This episode isn't just about charity; it’s about sustainable practices too. Learn how Conscious Eatery is reducing food waste by rethinking portion sizes and why they believe dill is an underrated herb.
Cierra and Chaz’s story is a powerful example of how generosity, empathy, and hard work can make a real difference. Whether you're looking for a dose of inspiration or practical tips on how to support your community, this episode offers both. Tune in to hear how businesses can be a force for good and maybe even find your own way to contribute.
