Chicago Restaurant Owners Talk About Coronavirus Relief and Reopening | Eater Chicago

"A vegan restaurant in Winnetka that opened in early 2020 and received a PPP loan, enabling it to stay afloat while experimenting with new revenue streams. The owner, CD Young, has revamped the animal-free menu for pickup and delivery and added offerings such as produce boxes and interactive “cook with the chef” sessions streamed on Facebook Live. The operator describes strong camaraderie across the industry, a creative adaptability in packaging and programming, and cautious optimism that this period will spur improvements despite uncertain long-term survival for many restaurants." - Naomi Waxman
