I'm reading so many stories about restaurants around the country having to make the gut-wrenching decision to temporarily close and layoff countless staff.
While survival mode is the new normal, hopefully we will have more clarity in the coming days.
I've been active posting to the site with a handful of updates that can hopefully be of help...
