"As chef/owner of Two Ten Jack, I’ve been left feeling stunned, numb and frozen in time by the toll this year has taken on the hospitality community; on a smaller scale that’s shown up in bizarre little things—like realizing I have 11 different kinds of cream cheese in my fridge. I’m grateful for therapy that keeps me connected to how destructive this has been mentally and emotionally, and I look forward to a time when we can finally see and hug each other again. I expect some culture vultures will snap up cheap rents, but I trust our hospitality community and regulars to push that wave out—Nashville’s spirit is too prideful to let that go." - Delia Jo Ramsey
