The restaurant industry will get through this crisis.  We will come thru! Our favorite part about what resilient restaurants (and some we know)  are doing is being creative.  Innovation within the context of problem-solving and pivoting!  Some points to be said, however once the restaurant industry is overhauled hopefully marginalized groups can finally claim their just desserts. Our show notes link is an article from the Washington Post about how iconic black restaurant  Ben's Chili bowl is handling the COVID outbreak, for further reading.

My great- great grandmother was a winemaker long before I thought it was cool. We talk about going back to the old ways, have a little party like seriously a little party. Snack on ramen and talk about naan bread.  I make food puns and sticky toffee pudding for Chef's ( Kendall) birthday.

I feel like nowadays I just walk around with voice memos open, has me feeling like a king... the tiger king. My family hold on tight to their teacups and have a really good laugh.  We have way too much energy to be still in the house, so we use to plan our garden. As far as gardening goes we are learning by doing, listening to ancestors and a good ol' google search on companion planting. Got any tips or advice feel free to help a family out! I always thought that permaculture was how the garden of Eden would've been planted.
