I don't see how ANY survive this really.  They will reopen at some point under another name I guess.  They still are paying rent, insurance, probably paying their managers.  The Chains will make it I think but we don't have many of those here.  One nice Italian place just opened, now take out only, opened last week.

A few are serving take out only of course, but they are the more casual places that do burgers etc. that are amenable to take out.

And the servers must be just going broke,  no $1200 will save them.  Of course, I'm spending way less now on dining out.

obviously all depends on how long this lasts

and how well the owners and investors are financed

hopefully, they had something in savings and low interest loans and other help can float them long enough to survive

My i s c & a aggie wife and I have been on a pretty strict low-carb diet since Christmas, but today is her birthday and we're breaking it for that occasion.  I actually broke a little last night and had some wine, and beer.

Tonight we'll grab some Tex-Mex from one of our favorite local places, they're doing their best to stay afloat doing curbside and delivery, but it can't be great for their business.  Like most places around here, the margins come from drinks and alcohol sales, not food.

Anyway, looking forward to some store-made enchiladas, tacos, and margaritas this evening.  It'll be the first food I've eaten in 3 months that wasn't made by my wife or me.

@Brutus Buckeye , you out there Brother?

Last post was possibly a nice graphic regarding the evolution of Michigan football

I think he announced a couple years back that he's staying off in the offseason going forward?

I think Cheesecake Factory basically announced they weren't paying rent, and dared malls to evict them.  I could see more chains doing that, but like you said, no way non chains can do that.  Cheesecake Factory knows they can because nobody is jumping in in the meantime.

I have an email into the manager of our local favorite restaurant asking how it's going.  They are selling pastries, cheesecake, and wine 5-9 PM curbside.

I may have posted this already.  I'm going to try out the SF burger place tomorrow.

I HOPE somehow it would be OK to open up restaurants that have outdoor dining areas with table spaced apart 6 feet.

His last post was on the day Michigan got bashed by UW.



Another:

  • Chryst found 4th down and 3. The 2018 game looked a lot more impressive for Michigan (38-13) than it should have. It was still a one-score game at the half. And despite Taylor averaging close to 7 YPC, UW was punting on questionable 4th downs, both early in the game and late. It sort of felt like that was a form of self-elimination. Not this year. Chryst took all those risks, and each was the correct one. I wonder whether he learned more from the 2018 game or from watching Army-Michigan during the idle week. Both communicate the same thing about UW needing to go for it on 4th.
