Today we sit with Shanaka Fernando and Jessica Tana from Lentil As Anything. This pay-as-you-feel concept opened its first restaurant in Melbourne in 2000, and you won’t find any prices on the menu. They have a donation box and credit card machine off to one side where you can pay for what you can afford. Those who can’t pay are encouraged to volunteer their time with the friendly, inviting staff whom are mostly volunteers themselves. The restaurant also works to eliminate food waste in Australia by partnering with grocery stores, fresh food markets, and their own personal cultivation plots. The concept is simple: share what you can, take what you need, and everyone has a spot at the table.
