Black-Owned Restaurants in Detroit Are Hard Hit by the Pandemic | Eater

"A counter-service restaurant offering soul-food classics with a healthier twist, it weathered an early scare when a co-owner fell ill (later testing negative) and chose to remain open to serve as a community stabilizer. The business limited in-store customers to five at a time, retooled the menu for larger portions and shareable options, and emphasized greens, cabbage, and baked chicken to promote neighborhood health; owners applied for several grants and loans and were approved for PPP but were still waiting on funds while keeping regular hours to preserve normalcy for customers and staff." - Brittany Hutson
