Free lunch? Yes, there is an offer out there. A restaurant in Farringdon, UK, sign a post outside said “No Food bills; pay us what you think our food is worth”. It is a test of one’s dignity and honesty. They will not set the price of the meal; instead, you rate it and decided how much their food worth. They charge you the drinks only.

This is a new gimmick and marks the new age of splendid restaurant. Under the recession, the bankers, top management high pay group flee; they shift their target customers and dare to offer in order to survive.
