I (Luca) moderated the latest Family Meal panel discussion on how restaurants rose to the challenge during the January wildfires. This is the recording of that panel discussion, featuring four very impressive speakers who I introduce at the top of the recording. 

We discuss all matters of important topics including how restaurants can prepare for the next big crisis and what you and I can do to support them when shit inevitably hits the fan.

We’ll be back Friday with our regularly scheduled programming. Father Sal and I have a ton to catch up on including my trip to Vegas for Pizza Expo, controversy surrounding the newly minted chef of Elon Musk’s Tesla diner in Hollywood, and Sal’s brazen decision to cheat on me with another podcast this week. You won’t wanna miss it.
