 The founder - and owner - of the Café is Reminiscer, a Muse of History. So they say. He first discovered the way to condense thoughts into taste. So they say. Not much is remembered of those early days of the Café, and very few people claim to have met him.  The founder - and owner - of the Café is Reminiscer, a Muse of History. So they say.

-The Café runs smoothly without the need of Reminiscer'​s intervention. Servers composed mainly - though not solely - of Impressions ensure Food For Thought can always provide provoking food it has promised to deliver, and the Regulars ensure that it never lacks lively debates that form its background track. It is also no great secret that the Servers and Regulars alike are gatherers of information,​ and would sell any knowledge for the right thought. ​+The Café runs smoothly without the need of Reminiscer'​s intervention.

-So far, despite its members having their own agendas and often meddling in other people'​s affairs, as a group Food For Thought has remained impressively neutral in all great matters in the Dreamscape. That is likely due to the fact that the only person that could possibly be their leader - Reminiscer - has never showed up to any event or made any announcement. Such neutrality is perhaps what has protected them from both the [[censorship|Censoring]] of the [[Academy of Thought]] and the wrath of the FIF (though not their suspicion or contempt). ​+So far, despite its members having their own agendas and often meddling in other people'​s affairs, as a group Food For Thought has remained impressively neutral in all great matters in the Dreamscape.

 However, not all Regulars are happy about this. Some think it may be time for Food For Thought to have a "​true"​ leader. ​ However, not all Regulars are happy about this. Some think it may be time for Food For Thought to have a "​true"​ leader. ​
