Get ready for an enlightening episode as host Adam Robison sits down with Coty Pate, the visionary founder, talented chef, and proud owner of Harold’s Diner, Soda Fountain, and Pharmacy. In this engaging conversation, Coty takes us on a journey through his culinary career, sharing his passion for cooking and his desire to make a positive impact in people’s lives.
Coty’s culinary adventures spanned 17 years, taking him from local mom and pop restaurants to prestigious five-star resorts and even the glamorous world of yachting. But deep down, Coty felt a calling to do more than simply cater to the affluent. He wanted to feed the masses and make a difference in the lives of those who needed it most.
Enter Harold’s Diner, Soda Fountain, and Pharmacy—an establishment inspired by Coty’s beloved grandfather, Harold. Harold’s generosity and kindness served as a guiding light for Coty, teaching him the importance of giving selflessly and seeing the best in others. This led to the creation of Harold’s Gatherings ministry, which tackles the pressing issue of food insecurity head-on.
Harold’s Gatherings is not just about providing meals; it’s about restoring dignity and empowering individuals and families facing food insecurity. The diner operates on a donation-based model, allowing patrons to contribute for their meals and pay it forward through meal tokens. These tokens can be given directly to individuals in need or collected and distributed to trusted organizations serving the community.
Let’s join Coty Pate in his mission to eat the change we want to see in the world. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Tune in to this episode and get inspired to support Harold’s Gatherings and their incredible initiatives.
