Classic SF Restaurant John’s Grill Sues Insurance Company Over Denied Coronavirus Claim - Eater SF
"Established in 1908, John’s Grill has seen its fair share of disaster: It’s survived the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and the theft of its Maltese Falcon (the restaurant plays a role in Dashiell Hammett’s 1930 noir novel of the same name). But now, says owner John Konstin, its continued existence is endangered as the insurance policy he thought would allow John’s to shutter during the coronavirus crisis won’t be paid out. So, like many other restaurants across the country, he’s suing." - Eve Batey
