Call it the Texas restaurant massacre.  The industry has taken a beating during our year of pandemic lockdown.  In human terms, it amounts to 150,000 Texans who have lost their jobs.  And those restaurants that did survive took another hit during the historic winter weather and power catastrophe.  That event wiped out the often-lucrative Valentine’s Day dining.  If this sounds like a horror story… it is.  So why then does the president of the Texas Restaurant Association think this story will have a happy ending?  For one, Texans apparently miss their restaurants more than anything else during the lockdown.  And she talks about the dramatic changes born out of the pandemic that will help the industry thrive on the other side.

We’d like to know what you think about Y’all-itics! So, please take the survey the Jasons mentioned: https://bit.ly/3qPjJDO  Cheers!
