Thank you Howie and casey. This is brilliant and important.
Really important and wonderful. Only thing, Anna was misgendered I think?
Just finished listening to the Anna Dunn episode on Take Away Only and I was so impressed - two brilliant people talking a bit of industry talk and some real life talk… Looking forward to hearing all of these shows.

During such an uncertain time, it is so great to be able to hear the stories of so many important restaurant industry individuals from all over the world. The story telling is a daily reminder of how we are all in this together even though we are currently apart by distance. Thank you for doing such important story telling during this time.
Howie is a mover and a shaker in the food world: a fantastically interesting writer for some of the world’s top publications and a charismatic interviewer of some of the most cutting edge personalities in this universe. Highly recommended!

Powerful episode! Great job getting this info out there. So important
I appreciate Howie for shining a light on the human side of the quarantine. Howie asks the questions I want to know with a sympathetic ear. The interview with George was inspiring. I want George and his staff to win and thrive, can’t wait to hear more in the future. I feel like I have a behind the scenes front row seat hearing what it takes to get through this time in history. Thank you for doing this podcast it is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
Love listening to these stories of resilience and ingenuity during such a difficult time. Hopefully these stories will help many others around the nation and the world. Thank you Howie and team for bringing this content to us.
Genius, smart and uplifting!
