A restaurant is where you go to fall in love. Restaurants are the absolute lifeblood of a city or town. What did you miss most during the pandemic? Matter of fact, I said that they were so wonderful and so glamorous that if I hadn’t been the host, I never would have gotten invited. What was it like working on those?
