Adam Smith's Cafe
Two years ago, Chef Adam Smith opened a small cafe in Leeds, England, specializing in making dishes out of out-of-date food-no parody, his ambition is to fight food waste and feed people around the world. Today, his "real junk food program" has led to about 120 cafes around the world.

The junk Food Cafe is located in a quiet corner of Leeds Amre, the menu changes every day, and the quality of the dishes is astonishingly high-especially if you measure it by the standard of out-of-date ingredients.

From home-cooked delicacies such as mixed vegetables curry, hand-torn pork salad, assorted chicken rice and chocolate puffs with nuts, to expensive ingredients such as caviar, truffles, smoked salmon and lobster, most of them are cooked by 200 volunteers in junk food cafes who collect materials from supermarket warehouses, food banks and even dustbins.

In addition, people preparing for holidays sometimes bring endless ingredients in the fridge, while local restaurants donate salmon, scallops and even steaks, and even rock stars deliver extra food for parties.

"supermarkets are the most wasteful places, with whole bottles of extra virgin olive oil, wine and caviar discarded. That's where most of our food comes from. " Adam Smith, founder of the cafe, said, "when we see them throw away the food, we wait 10 minutes and then go to pick it up." More than 90% of things are very good. "

There are also criteria for selecting "junk food", and Smith set up an inspection team to determine whether the food is still edible by its sense of taste and smell. Volunteers provide customers with different menus every day, usually including meat and vegetables, and sometimes sandwiches and desserts. "We are so busy that we have to cook about 15 to 30 meals a day," the cafe said. "

The idea of junk food cafes is to collect materials that are discarded because they are out of date and turn them into fully edible delicacies. As British law forbids the sale of food beyond its expiration date, cafes do not set prices, and customers can pay as much as they like, even by washing dishes, cleaning windows and sweeping the floor. Smith repeatedly stated that these foods are not "reserved" for the poor, but low-income people are still the main consumers.

Today, about 120 cafes around the world have joined his Real junk Food Program in Australia, Brazil, Switzerland, South Africa, Denmark, Indonesia, France, South Korea, the United States and Nigeria. Smith claims that since the program was established in December 2013, they have saved about 200 tons of food.
