The James Beard Foundation's VP of Impact, Katherine Miller, discusses ways for cooks, servers, dishwashers, and other restaurant workers to advocate for themselves, and describes the herculean efforts taking place behind the scenes to help ensure the industry recovers from the COVID-19 crisis.
Restaurant workers have never been more cordoned off from their professional kitchens and dining rooms, or each other. As the COVID-19 crisis continues to paralyze the industry, increasing anxiety over when restaurants will reopen and what the profession will look like mounts. Katherine Miller, Vice President of Impact for the James Beard Foundation, joins Andrew today to discuss how restaurant workers can advocate for and take care of themselves, and shares some information about the herculean efforts taking place behind the scenes to help support the industry and prepare it for the best possible comeback.
Our great thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.
