A new initiative aims to help local restaurant owners during the pandemic. CurAte delivers mystery dinners to customers throughout the Rochester area; the meals are made by local restaurants -- many of them minority-owned businesses. CurAte's founders say they want to help restaurants survive the pandemic, and by taking the customer work and deliveries off of their plates, restaurants can focus on making meals.
This hour, we talk about CurAte, the restaurants they've worked with, and the state of the industry during the pandemic. Our guests:
- Chris Lindstrom, co-founder of CurAte
- Marlene Henry, owner of Peppa Pot
- Nataneal Beshah, owner of Zemeta Ethiopian Restaurant
