Back in 2014, Chef Jagger Gordon began his mission of creating the Feed it Forward program and Soup Bar after witnessing the huge amount of food going to waste at his catering gig. This drove him to find a way that makes food distribution and consumption much more efficient. He began with a pop-up kitchen, serving meals for free with food that would have gone right to the landfill. This grew to become much more and the Soup Bar was born, serving as Toronto's very first pay-what-you-can restaurant.

Farmers, bakeries, and restaurateurs would donate food to the matter, and with any monetary donation going right towards buying luncheon meat to make sandwiches and exotic soups.
