Summary

On Dr. Bob’s last show, he calls up chef and restaurateur Justin Sutherland to hear about the state of the restaurant industry. Many places were able to survive by pivoting to takeout, but more than 10% closed their doors for good. They cover what Justin did to keep his restaurants afloat, what comfort foods they reached for this past year, and what COVID-related industry changes will stick around. Plus, some familiar voices thank Dr. Bob for his time guest hosting In the Bubble.
