Auf der offiziellen Terra Bite Website gibt's einen Link zum Kirkland Blog, welcher über den Laden schrieb. Ein kleines Zitat zur Idee und Ursprung:
I learned more after talking to the founders during their private grand opening party in late 2006. The Terra Bite was opened/founded by Ervin Peretz and Susie Allsup. Ervin (a Google developer in Kirkland, WA) hatched the idea while slightly intoxicated during a trip to Vietnam. Ervin describes the the voluntary payment system as "a convenience measure for the mainstream: a regular patron can just drop in $20 once a week, or even pay on-line. There are no punch-cards, or any other complexity; it's all based on trust. For those in need, it is a source of free food that is healthier, more available, and (most importantly) more dignified than the alternatives."
