Journalist Lisa Khoury of Washington Monthly; Restaurant Life After the Lockdown
Restaurants are permanently closing, the PPP loans aren’t working for everyone. What will save the industry from collapse?
As deeply involved as you can get in a subject sometimes, for me that being the hospitality/restaurant industry, it can be pretty easy to lose perspective of how the rest of the world sees the things that you feel are so important. So when I received an email from a journalist wondering if I’d like to have her as a guest to talk about an article she just had published on the Washington Monthly Magazine website about the restaurant business during the pandemic, my Spidey sense saw the opportunity to step out of my bubble to view the subject from another perspective.
What I got was a peek into the investigative process to define the problems and search for the solutions on hand so far by a person who had a toe in the restaurant business while being able to see the larger picture with the eye of a reporter.
