Post Modern Times plans to continue donation-based restaurant model as long as possible
from Minnesota Now · host Minnesota Public Radio
Earlier this year, a longtime south Minneapolis restaurant stopped putting prices on its menu. The diner formerly known as Modern Times rebranded itself as Post Modern Times and shifted to a donation-based model during the Minnesota ICE surge. Owner Dylan Alverson said he wanted to create a place where anyone could get a meal, regardless of their ability to pay. Months later, the restaurant is still operating on donations and drawing national attention for its unconventional approach. Dylan Alverson, owner of Post Modern Times in Minneapolis, spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about why he’s sticking with the approach and how he’s getting neighborhood input.
