Description

Now in bigger, fancier digs, FareStart serves tasty lunches cooked by rigorously trained homeless or formerly homeless chefs. The lunch menu has the basics-turkey sandwiches, burgers, and fish and chips-but also ranges upscale with entrees like seared scallops over beluga lentils. Its pork-shoulder sandwich with beer-battered onion rings and chipotle aioli is a sight to behold. Each Thursday night, a visiting chef prepares a special three-course menu for only $24.95. Some dinners sell out weeks in advance, so check the organization's Web site (www.farestart.org) for the guest chef schedule and reserve your table early.
