Opening a restaurant in a pandemic
Three people who braved opening a food business during the pandemic.
Is there ever a good time to open a restaurant? Surely, during a global pandemic isn鈥檛 one of them? As coronavirus rips through communities around the globe, lockdowns are forcing tens of thousands of restaurants to close their doors. Tamasin Ford meets the entrepreneurs who are doing the opposite. We hear how a West African restaurant in London and a Chinese restaurant in LA are managing their openings. Plus, how putting food on the menu, became a matter of survival for one of London's top dance clubs.
