"As the co-chef and co-owner of Morris Ramen in Madison, Wisconsin, I realized as soon as the pandemic hit that the government had failed the restaurant industry. There were no economic safety nets to catch us or others when our doors closed. Many of my fellow industry folks couldn’t afford the rent anymore; federal support grants were an uncertainty; and making profit was incredibly difficult under stay-at-home orders. We were left largely to fend for ourselves." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
