Andrew Gruel is a chef, restaurant owner, and TV/radio personality based in Southern California. Restaurants across the country were obliterated not by the COVID-19 virus, but the government response to it, and it will take a monumental effort for them, as well as the owners, managers, and employees, to recover.
 


86 Restaurant Struggle is a fund to help those workers whose jobs and livelihoods were lost over the last 15 months in response to the virus. Visit 86Struggle.com to donate to this cause.
 


Chef Andrew and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talk about that struggle restaurants are facing, not just as they reopen, but as unemployment has incentivized folks to stay home and not return to the working world.
