, but conversations about accessibility issues have been renewed as prices have soared with inflation and supply shortages are abundant. Affordable meals and fresh ingredients are harder to come by, Lazarri said, and he didn’t want Civic Center Eats to become a luxury when it was held in a public, historical space for everyone to enjoy.

Civic Center Eats found inspiration for the model from one of its regularly participating food trucks,, which has operated a pay-what-you-can restaurant at 2023 E. Colfax Ave. since 2006. SAME Cafe remains one of the country’s oldest pay-what-you-can restaurants, and Lazarri said he’d always admired it. So, he contacted SAME Cafe to help determine what Civic Center Eat’s model would look like.

SAME Cafe also saw people come in who were struggling with other pandemic-related issues, from financial woes to mental health struggles. Even without a pandemic, it’s still fairly simple for people to become food insecure, Marten said.
