Restaurants were closed for dine-in service for several weeks due to the coronavirus, with some of those doors remaining closed permanently. Restaurant staff all over the world worked tirelessly to clean, sanitize, and prepare for a new "normal" as far as dining out goes. Seeing posts like this for your favorite restaurants opening back up was a small glimpse of normalcy the world had missed for months.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

#restaurant, #dinein, #sanitize, #safety #reopen, #FoodIsLife, #ASU, #HST485
