milehimodern visited the latest sweetheart on bustling South Broadway. Somebody People is a vegetable-forward dining experience advocating zero-waste and a menu free of harm. To us, it\u2019s another prime example of how the South Broadway (SoBo) neighborhood is not only on the rise as a popular destination due to new developments but is also at the forefront of incorporating current culture.<\/p>\n

Tricia + Sam Maher<\/strong> are the creators behind this forward-thinking restaurant featuring rustic Mediterranean flair (sans meat\/faux meat), colorful interiors and art gallery adornments. Originally from Australia, down under nuances have made their way a mile high.<\/p>\n

The name Somebody People is based on David Bowie\u2019s song\u00a0\u201cFive Years.\u201d Many conspiracies are swirling around why the Mahers chose this name, and we\u2019ll pitch our own. It\u2019s an ode to opening an entrepreneur endeavor after five years in the United States.<\/p>\n

You both mentioned documentaries as being the catalyst for shifting to a vegan lifestyle. What documentaries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam \/\/ What the Health<\/em><\/p>\n

Tricia \/\/ Cowspiracy<\/em><\/p>\n

And you also alluded to the differences between Aussie food culture and the US. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Like what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam \/\/ There\u2019s a greater importance placed on fresh ingredients, lighter flavors, vegetable focus.<\/p>\n

Tricia \/\/ Dinners and meals are intentional; not just convenient. Nothing tops a dinner with friends, sharing plates, bottles of wine and thought-provoking conversation.<\/p>\n

What’s the Australian caf\u00e9 culture like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tricia \/\/ It wasn\u2019t uncommon to wake up, go for a swim, walk the dog and sit down at the cafe to read the paper over coffee and brekkie before work. Sets the tone for your day.<\/p>\n

Sam \/\/ A push to do the simple things really well. Intuitive coffee, honest and wholesome food.<\/p>\n

Can you walk us through the creative process of designing the space? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam \/\/ We wanted to create a lighter, inviting and jovial space.<\/p>\n

Tricia \/\/ We selected bits and pieces, organically along the way, hoping that it would all come together in the end. It was a pleasure working with Spark Design; adapting and changing ideas throughout the build-out.<\/p>\n<\/div>
