Not far from my place... :)

2. OK ... that grabbed me. Yup. A damned GOOD idea.

I'd go there ... and pay more. Ubetcha.

3. I wonder what this remarkable young couple does for a living?

I also wonder if it's just open for lunch? or also an evening meal? Sad to see the need, but so thankful that this couple is there to help fill it.

4. Here is their website for those who want to help but don't live close by

It's called so all may eat. It has a paypal link and says donations are tax deductable.

It is the intent of SAME Cafe to build a healthy community by providing a basic need of food in a respectful and dignified manner to anyone who walks through the door.

SAME Cafe is unique in the lack of a set menu as well as set prices. Daily selections are made using fresh, organic ingredients, and funded by the donations of patrons. Instead of a cash register, a donation box is available for one to pay what they felt their meal was worth, or to leave a little more and help out someone less fortunate. If a diner does not have sufficient money to leave, they are encouraged to exchange an hour of service. Our philosophy is that everyone, regardless of economic status, deserves the chance to eat healthy food while being treated with dignity.
