Most of us don't NEED a restaurant, but on occasion it's nice to be waited on and even better not having to clean up!
We have a new dishwasher.
Cheers!

The sous vide is bubbling away at 137 degrees with some lamb chops. They were vacuum-sealed with fresh rosemary from our garden and plenty of sliced garlic. The searzall is standing by with a fresh can of gas for the quick sear. We'll roast some asparagus after tossing in olive oil and kosher salt. And a small Caesar salad with freshly-shaved Parmesan cheese. Pinot Noir for sure.
Cooking never gets old around here. It's one of my daily creative outlets. Eating is just a bonus.

We live in a really small town and restaurant choice is very limited. We mostly cook at home when we are at home. I have girl lunches out with my friends, and we love eating out in nearby larger towns and when we go on vacation. I had the best burger I can remember eating a few days ago in a small town in Utah. And cheese curds- a first for me. Neither covid nor retirement will change our restaurant habits.
I view cooking as an art form like painting, sculpture, or music. The big difference is that I get to eat the final results.

I worry that COVID-19 restrictions will simply kill off live theater. Patrons tend to be old; many will be afraid to return even with whatever "social distancing" precautions may be imposed.
We love live shows so much that we had been blowing dough by flying to Washington, D.C. every couple of months to see the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center. Stayed overnight at the Watergate and walked to the KC, walked back and go to bed. Flew home the next day.
Very disappointed when our May trip to see "Porgy and Bess" (a favorite) was canceled.
We dined in. I ordered a grilled chicken pita and he ordered the low calorie version of the same thing. Yes I feel guilty about not getting the low cal version. LOLToday is takeout pizza.
The Big Fish family restaurant in Panguitch UT.Care to share the burger place...our favorite Utah burger place is Oscar's in Springdale UT, it might be the scenery that makes it so tasty...

Do you mean they had COVID-19 positive employees a d thus had to sanitize? How else would they discover that their restaurant had been “contaminated”?In a beach town outside of Jacksonville 3 restaurants/bars had to close this week because of viral contamination. Many customers have been exposed but by now have been the source of infection to (how many?) others.
They are going to sanitize, have their employees tested, and then reopen.
Rinse and Repeat
Cheers!
In all cases several customers at each restaurant reported they tested positive after visiting the restaurant. Once becoming aware of the contamination the owners closed their doors and started to sanitize. They also said they wanted their employees to get tested. Did not say it was required in order to work at the restaurant.Do you mean they had COVID-19 positive employees a d thus had to sanitize?

So tricky people comfortable visiting restaurants might very well be out and about doing other things in public...
