This article covers what is happening in the fine dining industry during Covid-19. All restaurants are dealing with the pandemic and the loss of revenue. Many fine dining restaurants are closing because the cost margins are so narrow and for these restaurants to stay in business they need a full house. It also highlights the decision making that David Chang had to process and look out for the well-being of his employees if they did take-out and delivery. #foodislife, #davidchang #momofuku, #covid19 (Arizona State University, HST 580)
