It is forever our lives, the lowest rung of the ladder. We just need to own it and breed the reputation of craft, skill, and pride.

Fast food giant, Burger King, is turning their UK social media over to independent #restaurants. That is a very noble gesture as the hospitality industry needs its own #hospitality.

[Kitchen Grit @KitchenGrit]

Hospitality needs #Hospitality.

Restaurant recovery starts with customers. Pick up your order and skip the 3rd-party delivery services. DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats take HUGE bites out of sales... and upcharge customers.

Exactly efficient. Less transfer, cleaning, and fuss when a single cooking medium will do. It's just practical kitchen alchemy, @pete_wells.

Denying it is a fool's errand. Wherever people gather, the illness will spread. It's #restaurants, malls, grocery stores. So let's own that and move on. Moving on means finding responsible fiscal solutions. It's not a blame thing. It's a Fix This thing so people aren't destitute.

Indoor dining is reportedly the fastest growing source of COVID-19 spread in New York City, according to state data https://t.co/soqF96nL3j

...and will leave behind the picked-over carcasses of those #restaurants that are mere skeletons of their profitable pasts.

[The Restaurant Manifesto @restofesto]

If Congress doesn’t intervene to provide financial support for the restaurant industry, opportunists within the financial sector and venture capitalists will swoop in like vultures to feast off the carcasses of dead restaurants.

"It’s not just that our priorities are wrong; #food is not a national policy priority at all.
Food is the fastest way to rebuild community. We can put people back to work preparing it, and we can put lives back together by fighting hunger."@chefjoseandres: https://t.co/l8On735SnZ

"10,000 restaurants could close in the next three weeks, in addition to the 110,000 that have already shuttered in 2020." Somebody... anybody... going to notice this?!

Somebody, anybody! Do something to lift the #restaurant & #hospitality industry! Millions of jobs are circling the drain!

[Kitchen Grit @KitchenGrit]

If mighty, MIGHTY @USHGNYC is going down while swinging, what can become of smaller independent #restaurants? Hospitality needs hospitality!

[Pete Wells @pete_wells]

Losing Blue Smoke/Jazz Standard is probably the clearest illustration of how much of our culture is being killed off by the pandemic & the federal government's neglect of restaurants.

Want to ruin fun #food? Make it a festival! The mac 'n cheese festival, the cheesesteak festival, the hamburger festival: Over exposing and underwhelming turns dishes into misses.

@SamJones917 Sound advice for all foodservice workers! So glad Granny is ok!!

[Kitchen Grit @KitchenGrit]

If you have "Phenom" or "Public Figure" or "Influencer" in your handle, tag, username - you probably aren't. And nobody is impressed. Pay for dinner like everybody else. Better yet: use your "phenom" ability to help others; leave a nice tip and be kind.

On the radio: "We're still struggling w/ news of Prince Harry & Meghan's departure from the royal family..."
STRUGGLING? I'm struggling w/ the job market, higher #food cost, #restaurant rent, oh... and impending war. Definitely not struggling w/ rich overwhelmed by their wealth.

Observation in the #restaurant world:
Is it really Medium and Large if you only have 2 sizes? Medium? Seems 'medium' is a comparstive term.

Is it too much to ask for a gyro-scented car freshener?

[Kitchen Grit @KitchenGrit]

Tonight's #GoldenGlobes are going meat-free for the pre-event meal. Think veg-forward isn't real? #Restaurants take notice. Like it or not, Hollywood is one of the oldest influencers.

[Kitchen Grit @KitchenGrit]

The drive to Restaurant Depot / Jetro is the digging of the hole in which you will bury your #restaurant. Rarely is the cheapest the best - or the best value. Don't preach Quality and serve shit.
