Join #TheGreatAmericanTakeout

America’s restaurants are in crisis. 

The coronavirus poses a significant threat to the future of an industry that employs more than 15 million Americans. That’s why a coalition of restaurants is asking industry peers, partners, publishers, influencers, and—most critically—guests, for help.
