A Sydney cafe owner who broke down in tears during an emotional TV interview about the increase to the minimum wage has been 'gifted' $10,000 by Kyle and Jackie O - but the money comes with a little catch.
Phillip Salhab, who runs the Appetite eatery in Five Dock, said he feared his business would not be able to survive amid the rising cost of living and a 5.2 per cent increase to the minimum wage.
He tried to put on a brave face when speaking about the possibility of going bust on Sky News last week.
He told reporter Peter Stefanovic he would 'save his tears for the pillow' before eventually becoming overwhelmed and admitting: 'It would be a lot easier to close'.
The KIIS FM hosts on Monday morning told the cafe owner they'd give the store $10,000 to go towards free coffee and food for customers who turn up throughout the day.

'We'll put $10,000 on the bar for you to shout as many people free coffee and cake as humanly possible,' Sandilands said.
An elated Mr Salhab was left speechless after the grand offer and thanked the radio
