The Newsroom @ Home: Restaurants + COVID-19

The Newsroom @ Home: Restaurants + COVID-19, the struggles, challenges, and changes
June 4, 2020 10:00 AM

The Bay Area’s dazzling restaurant scene has been laid low by the long shutdown. While some longtime bistros have shuttered permanently, others have pivoted in wildly creative ways to try to keep the fires burning -- and some of those changes may be here to stay. Now, as California lays plans to slowly reopen, we’ll be discussing all the big questions.

Join Jackie Burrell, Eat Drink Play/Features editor, along with journalists Linda Zavoral, and Jessica Yadegaran as they tackle this ever-changing topic and answer the questions you have. Register here: https://bayareanewsgroup.zoom.us/webinar/register/5015894164216/WN_dxiwgxC_Th6F4xPFThBXgQ

With guests from John Muir Health: Ray Nassief, Senior Vice President of Hospital Operations and Nick Mickas MD, Medical Director of Clinical Operations.

As restrictions are loosening after months of sheltering in place, many of us have growing concerns and more unanswered questions than answers. Join us as we pose our questions to a health professional and give you an opportunity to ask your own.

“We are very impressed with your Chamber. We have been members of other Chambers over the years and it’s been nothing like the experiences we’re having right out of the gate with your organization. Thank you for your great communication, follow up, and professionalism.”
– Peter Dewey, Bayview Painting

“I couldn’t have asked for a better resource than the Chamber, as I was establishing my medical practice in Lafayette. AJ, Holly, and Sara were so responsive to my questions and gave me many ideas on networking in the community. They host several events that foster community building. I honestly cannot imagine a more robust, active, and friendly chamber as this. I’m a member for life!”
– Cheruba Prabakar, Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery

“WE LOVE THE CHAMBER! Batch and Brine has been a member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce for almost six years. We value and appreciate the incredible amount of work this organization produces for our community through many events and support for each business. The networking and education of information that’s spilled out weekly for the business community is impressive. They are a helping hand in so many ways for our business community and beyond. We couldn’t be part of this community without being part of the chamber. Lafayette Chamber is one of the best organizations we’ve worked with, so don’t think twice about it, join the Chamber!” – Rolla Ghaben, Batch & Brine

“The Chamber was instrumental in helping us open 14 years ago. The staff went out of their way to help us make connections and ensure we were successful. We would not be where we are today without the Chamber!”
– John & Colleen McCormick, Lamorinda Music
