They've been working at the cafe as part of a unique program in which Casa Bonita's new owners are paying staff to help at local nonprofits.
, We Don't Waste, the Action Center and Habitat ReStores in Denver and Wheat Ridge.
Chefs Cruz Tovar and Hugo Calberon are two Casa Bonita employees who have been keeping their skills sharp at, 2023 East Colfax Avenue. The restaurant's name stands for So All May Eat, and it operates on a donation-based model, with meals available on a pay-what-you-can basis. Guests can also"pay" for meals by volunteering time.
"People come in and start talking to each other like they've been friends forever," Calberon says of his experience at the cafe.Now they'll get to show off their own skills as they take over the menu on Friday, July 22, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. They'll be cooking up pork posole, vegetarian garbanzo bean soup, salad with posole toppings , mixed greens fruit salad and huarache-style"pizzas” .
With a menu that appetizing, we can't wait to see what they'll do when Casa Bonita finally reopens. But in the meantime, this charitable program that the new owners plan to continue until that day is very, very satisfying. SAME Cafe is located at 2023 East Colfax Avenue and is open from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, visit
