OC’s Nomads Canteen Defies State Orders by Reopening Its Dining Room This Weekend | Eater LA

"In San Clemente, Nomads Canteen defied California's stay-at-home orders for a second time by reopening its dining area Thursday through Sunday after first opening last Saturday; owner Jeff Gourley says he will keep service going. Gourley tried to socially distance customers as they piled in, but the restaurant sold out of every food item and bottle of alcohol, and patrons formed a line and waited up to 45 minutes to get in. Some outlets have labeled it the leader of the “stay at home resistance,” and the restaurant has seen little pushback from local authorities, though the state Alcoholic Beverage Control warned that businesses flouting orders could lose their beer, wine, or liquor license; Gourley plans to continue service through the weekend." - Mona Holmes
