COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

Absolutely. One of my favorite places, which is family owned and operated, has had to go down to 4 days a week so they can make money to pay their bills doing other jobs the other 3. They have had take out available the whole time but say they have still seen a 75% drop in revenue (although tips per order are way up).

Some of the local restaurants around Mid-City New Orleans are doing really good things for the community and will have my long term support. Toups' Meatery has been giving away meals to people who need them, particularly those in the food service industry and I think Blue Oak BBQ is doing the same. I've tried to order from then when possible to help support them. They certainly deserve it.

I would bet that others are doing this as well.
