ONE WORLD

Overview:

At the corner of Main St and University St, right at the heart and soul of Campustown, is a giant sign that “ONE WORLD” with a giant marquee on the side reading off new menu items. ONE WORLD has a vision to “create and operate an establishment where the love of hospitality, gathering, and togetherness is expressed through the creation and sharing of food and drinks.” If you are eager to explore the world and want to get a taste of what other countries have to offer, this is the place for you.

ONE WORLD offers guests breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even desserts that are found all over the world, ranging from breakfast pizzas to falafel salad to even a Cuban pork sandwich. Open from morning to night, they allow you access to the full menu all day long, which is something not seen at a lot of places.

ONE WORLD allows both delivery, takeout, and in-store dining, and when the weather allows it, the have an outdoor patio in the back where guests are allowed to enjoy beautiful weather with a delectable dish. ONE WORLD is your slice of the world coming straight from the Midwest.

My Experience:

On a Sunday morning, right as church got out, my girlfriend and I both had our stomachs start growling at the exact same time, and we both knew we needed to get some food now. There were many places that were closed, and most of the breakfast places were a bit of a drive, and we didn’t feel like going too far. As we began to explore our options, we remembered One World, and since I had never been there before, we decided to give it a try.

As we got there, the wait was actually not too long, despite it being fairly busy in there. Once it was our turn, we were seated our booth nice and promptly. Might I say, the staff there was really nice from the host to the server, they were all genuinely nice people.

Once we got the menu, we were met with some fun names of the food items (one of the items was named the ‘Elvis Waffle’, named after Elvis Presley’s favorite kind of pancakes). After carefully sifting through, I decided to go with a classic biscuits and gravy meal with a side of bacon strips, hashbrowns, and orange slices. This was really good food, and I am a sucker for good breakfast food. The biscuits were nice and soft and the gravy was cooked very well. I’ve had gravy in the past from other places that have almost tasted burnt or even smoked, but this was not the case, and this was cooked very well. The hashbrowns were pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary but they were still good, and the bacon strips were very similar; nothing special, but exactly what you need it to be. The orange slices were a great addition though to the breakfast, and it helped pull everything together.

I would really recommend coming here. They have so many different options for food, and you really cannot go wrong with any of it (and if you go, PLEASE get the peanut butter pie).
