FOOD was founded by artists Carol Goodden, Tina Girouard and Gordon Matta-Clark. FOOD was considered one of the first important restaurants in SoHo. Other individuals who were involved with FOOD included Suzanne Harris and Rachel Lew. FOOD was a place where artists in SoHo, especially those who were later involved in Avalanche magazine and the Anarchitecture group, could meet and enjoy food together. FOOD was considered to be both a business and an artistic "intervention in an urban setting." It has also been called a "landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo in the 1970s."

It served as a gathering place for artists during the transition of Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood from a manufacturing area to an arts community.

It was instrumental in identifying this neighborhood as an artist destination. It was well placed in this busy art metropolis to benefit from the many nearby artist studios, art galleries, art supply houses, and art schools. The neighborhood itself was a destination and a magnet for tourists, gallery visitors, and the curious. The crowded, multi-floor store supplied a large inventory and diverse variety of materials, while adding to the identity of the sometimes quirky retail stores nearby. The proximity to other large and specialty art suppliers, such as New York Central Supply, Utrecht Linens, David Davis, and others created a regional destination for commerce in professional art materials.
