Ep. 5 - Chef José Andrés, Kwame Onwuachi, and acts of kindness

Weekly Specials - A podcast by The Welcome Conference

This week on Weekly Specials, we’re inspired by the way grocery stores have partnered with chefs to create to-go meals, like Rouses Markets in Louisiana, H-E-B in Texas, and Spartan Nash in Michigan, raising a significant amount of money in support of their local restaurants. Dimo’s Pizza in Chicago is using their ovens to cook up more than just a solid slice, and restaurant regulars support their favorite spots by installing road-side billboards advertising a local spot with the simple message, “We are open.” And in Hong Kong, Black Sheep Restaurant released a reopening playbook that’s already been translated to 5 languages and passed around the world. Ben Leventhal spends some quality time with Chef José Andrés in the ultimate version of This Week in José. And our latest segment, #icantwait, continues with Chef Kwame Onwuachi and his team from Kith/Kin joining us on the show to share what they can't wait to get back to doing in their restaurant.
