ANNOUNCER: A REVIEW OF THE WORLD CAFE IN PUYALLUP >>>

A strip mall in Puyallup’s South Hill area certainly doesn’t seem like a destination for soothing, healthy dining. However, that’s exactly where the recently opened World Cafe sits. A well-utilized earth tone color palette for the walls, booths and tables; instrumental world music, high ceilings and an abundance of live greenery complete the vibrant visual appeal that masks South Meridian’s five lanes of madness lurking outside.

The health-conscious, environment-friendly eatery offers a menu designed by the Northwest’s own culinary professional “The Galloping Gourmet” Graham Kerr along with Johnson & Wales University dean of culinary arts Karl Guggenmos. World Café and Day by Day Gourmet Dinners were co-created by Brad Vorhees, Kerr and Guggenmos. Remember Dinners Ready!? Vorhees is the founder and styled Day by Day to operate in much the same fashion. The café is symbiotic with Day by Day, a home valet service providing nutritious, prepared meals with a focus on global flavors.

JASON: Do they serve falafel? If so, I’m not in. The name says it all; it makes you “feel awful.” Get it? Do you get it?
