Episode 90: Helping healers and what restaurants will look like when they reopen

It’s not the sandwich or the coffee, but the meaning behind donated food. For those working in healthcare like Dr. Tiffany Osborne, a trauma surgeon at Barnes Jewish Hospital, the community support helps them push through even the hardest days during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are dozens of restaurants donating food to hospitals, but two groups, Meals for Meds [https://www.mealsformeds.info/] and Kindness Meals [https://kindnessmealsstl.com/], allow St Louisans to donate money to restaurants who will then deliver meals, helping both the hospitals and the hospitality industry in these tough times.
John Perkins, the owner of Juniper in the CWE joined us to talk about Meals for Meds and the adaptions inside their kitchen that have taken place to make them temporarily more a catering business than a restaurant.
He also talks to the Meet St Louis podcast about to-go alcohol sales, third party delivery services, and how the adaptations are going to need to keep coming for when they finally do open back up to the public.
