"Understory, a worker-owned restaurant, announced its closure after three years of operation. Known for its pay-what-you-can meals and diverse cuisine, it won the James Beard Foundation’s Emerging Leadership Award in 2022. The collective plans to reopen at a future location and has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support staff and moving costs." - Paolo Bicchieri
