On this episode, we speak with Jacob Pratt. Jacob is a sales rep with International Gourmet Foods. Prior to working there, he’s spent most of his career working in, and running, kitchens.
We discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the restaurant industry including diminished sales, the supply chain, pivoting to the carry-out model, and restaurants turning into mini grocery stores. We also talk about work/life balance and being addicted to the restaurant lifestyle.
We asked Jacob to share some love for some of the restaurants still open, so check out The Tasting Room (https://www.instagram.com/trrestaurant/) , Guide House Grill (https://www.instagram.com/guidehousegrill/) , Brewer’s Alley (https://www.instagram.com/brewersalley/) , Canapes Catering (https://www.instagram.com/canapescateringfrederick/) , Chrysalis Vineyards (https://www.instagram.com/chrysalisvineyards/) , Dolce & Ciabatta (https://www.facebook.com/chefswithoutrestaurants) , Dan’s Restaurant & Tap House (https://www.facebook.com/DRNTH)
