<h5>A New Idea</h5><p>On 27th August 2025, something different happened in Mexico City. More than 20 restaurants joined a project led by a famous place called Masala y Maíz. People could order food from the menu, but instead of a bill, they got an envelope. They could put in money or even a small gift, depending on what they had.</p><h5>What Was the Project?</h5><p>The project was called “Eat What You Want, Pay What You Can.” On these days, the price list was removed. Guests chose their food and then decided how much to pay. No one checked the amount. It was based on trust, honesty, and kindness. This way, people who could not normally eat at these places also got a chance.</p><h5>How It Started</h5><p>The idea began in 2017 at Masala y Maíz. Two chefs, Saqib Keval and Norma Listman, started it. They wanted restaurants to do more than just earn money.</p><p>By 2025, Mexico City had become very costly. Rents and food prices went up. Many people found it hard to enjoy the city’s food culture. So, the chefs invited other restaurants to join.</p><h5>Bringing People Together</h5><p>The project opened fine dining to everyone, rich or poor. People from different groups could sit together, share food, and respect each other.</p><p>But it was not easy for restaurants. If they did this often, they might not earn enough to pay staff or buy ingredients. In some countries, such projects closed down because they only depended on people’s generosity.</p><h5>What’s Next?</h5><p>Still, this idea has caught attention around the world. Chefs in other countries want to try it too. In Mexico City, organizers hope it becomes a tradition. They say food should be a right, not only for the rich.</p><p>If done carefully, “Eat What You Want, Pay What You Can” can inspire many more people to share meals with love and fairness.</p>

Some restaurants in Mexico City are testing a new concept in which diners enjoy meals without fixed prices, paying only what they can afford.
