Host Billy Shore talks with Chef Erik Bruner‑Yang (Maketto, Ours at Manifest) and Immigrant Food co-founder Peter Schechter about immigration enforcement, ICE checkpoints, and what that means for D.C. restaurants and workers. They explain how they use know-your-rights training, ICE location group chats, and Uber rides for staff. 

Gastro‑advocacy tools, like Immigrant Food’s weekly Engagement Menu, are deployed to keep people safe and engaged. Listeners hear how local action, focused on a 20‑block radius, can rebuild community, support immigrant staff, and keep restaurants alive in a very uncertain time.​​
