Andrew Talks to Chefs SPECIAL REPORT #40: Lynn Buono & Skip Schwarzman on Catering during COVID
Lynn Buono and Skip Schwarzman of Philadelphia's Feast Your Eyes catering join Andrew to discuss the unique short- and long-term challenges faced by their industry during the COVID-19 era. Lynn and Skip share the adjustments they've made, from creating service-free meals to be served at events that are proceeding as scheduled, to adjusting contracts and commitments as ever-shifting government mandates dictate, to the special services they've created for clients' at-home dining needs and desires.
Our great thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.
