My guest today is Chef Jon Thompson.

Jon has an amazing resume, and recently he was head chef at Mediterranean restaurant Zaytinya in Frisco, the second Zaytinya location for Michelin-starred chef José Andrés.

After Zaytinya closed down last year, Jon set out to open the Yarbird Southern Table & Bar at the new Dallas location. However, COVID-19 pandemic has affected his plans, so we caught up to chat about what he is up to now.

Chefs are the leaders in the kitchen, they are like captains of the ships. They too are suffering in this situation, and have to pivot and use different strategies to make amazing food for us.

Here is how Jon handles being a chef at home, and what he thinks about how restaurant businesses will come out from this crisis.
