Food and Travel writer John Mariani knows the restaurant industry inside and out. Small, local 'Mom & Pop' restaurants are an important part of our economy and are particularly vulnerable in this time of shutdown because of the COVID-19 virus. He discusses with Art and John the unique situation these neighborhood entrepreneurs face, how they're often ignored or overlooked in the government solutions and how re-opening is not so easy for them. It's an interesting look into the economy and politics of our times, focused on a segment we often take for granted--going out to eat in an neighborhood restaurant!
