The Impact Of The COVID-19 Pandemic On Restaurants

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tomorrow, June 10 at 11:30 a.m. ET Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) will join members of the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC) to unveil the findings of a new report on the devastation wrought on the independent restaurant industry by the COVID-19 pandemic. Up to 85% of small restaurants and bars remain in danger of closing due to the pandemic, and the chefs will explain why an Independent Restaurant Stabilization Fund is necessary to help survive the crisis. Rep. Blumenauer will be joined by IRC chefs Katie Button (Asheville, NC), Gregory Gourdet (Portland, OR) and Dan Wu (Lexington, KY).
