"Quietly Changing the World, One Meal at a Time"

While perusing through my latest issue of Cooking Light, I happened upon an article featuring the SAME Cafe--SAME stands for "So All May Eat." Believe it or not, this Denver restaurant has no set menu prices. Patrons can either decide what their meal was worth, pay what they feel they can afford, or get their meal in exchange for 1 hour of service at the restaurant. And, if that isn't cool enough, all the cafe's food is prepared by a culinary-trained chef and his wife, using fresh and local ingredients. In our consumeristic society, reading about a place like this was a breath of fresh air. Read more about it here.

Haven't been there myself, but I do remember a great article published in one of our two local newspapers about this cafe. It is certainly a great concept.

I was actually thinking we should go there during our visit to Denver in July, Mom. What do you think? Perhaps I could even snap a few pictures and blog about it!

Sounds like a plan to me! It's not all that far away, either.

I never heard such kind of restaurant, and it's great that you can choose your meal and the quantity of what you can eat. You can also choose your own combination that will fit with your budget. With this kind of arrangement, there will be no leftovers food at your table.
