Hoping the story of restaurants and this pandemic has a happily ever after? Bob Bonney is one guy who’s working on that. Here’s our chat with the CEO of the Missouri Restaurant Association. Now that the election is behind us, what he says needs to be the first order, what he thinks of the governor’s COVID-19 strategy and other ways we can support local restaurants, even when we’re not hungry. All that plus your food news, weekend planner and a peek at a national ice cream competition.
