On this episode, we speak with Jacob Pratt. Jacob is a sales rep with International Gourmet Foods. Prior to working there, he’s spent most of his career working in, and running, kitchens. We discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the restaurant industry including diminished sales, the supply chain, pivoting to the carry-out model, and restaurants turning into mini grocery stores. We also talk about work/life balance and being addicted to the restaurant lifestyle. ​We asked Jacob to share some love for some of the restaurants still open, so check out The Tasting Room, Guide House Grill, Brewer’s Alley, Canapes Catering, Chrysalis Vineyards, Dolce & Ciabatta, Dan’s Restaurant & Tap House, Captain Bender’s Tavern, The Green Pineapple, Domestic & Cushwa Brewery. =========================== International Gourmet Foods =========================== Visit their website http://www.igf-inc.com/ Like their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/InternationalGourmetFoods/ Check those Insta pics https://www.instagram.com/internationalgourmetfoods/ =========================== CONNECT WITH US =========================== Check out our websites (they have different stuff) https://chefswithoutrestaurants.org/ & https://chefswithoutrestaurants.com/ Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chefswithoutrestaurants Join the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/chefswithoutrestaurants Join the conversation on Twitter https://twitter.com/ChefsWoRestos Check our Insta pics https://www.instagram.com/chefswithoutrestaurants/ You can follow us on Instagram: ChefsWithoutRestaurants, PerfectLittleBites, FreePZA, JugBridge Brewery =========================== If you want to support the show, our Venmo name is ChefWoRestos and can be found at https://venmo.com/ChefWoRestos.
