#55 - Exactly What We Need... Stories to Inspire

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the news these days, then this is the podcast episode for you. For the past few weeks we’ve been inundated with scary numbers and stories about how the world is falling apart… but I’ll remind you that I’m still here and you’re still here and thousands of other listeners are out there as well. And while our industry has been upended, there are hundreds of restaurants out there with stories to tell… stories to inspire you. So that’s what this week’s episode is all about. I’m sharing six of my favorites: 

1. CANLIS (Seattle, Washington) - Link to their NEW WEBSITE & OLD WEBSITE, and an Eater article about the remarkable pivot they've done since this crisis began. 
2. DANNY MEYER AND THE GIFT CARDS AT USHG (New York, NY) - Visit their website
3. MASSIMO BOTTURA (Modena, IT)- His daily Kitchen Quarantine videos on IGTV
4. IRMA'S SOUTHWEST (Houston, TX) - and the story of a $9,400 tip
5. LEA (Brooklyn, NY) - their pop-up Italian Market
6. DELICIOUS HOSPITALITY (New York, NY) - visit the Parcelle website

Finally a reminder about our two online workshops launching this summer!
