Best Grassroots Organization Working to Save Local Restaurants

Tennessee Action for Hospitality was born out of a text chain in the first few days of pandemic lockdown in which chef Bryan Lee Weaver asked restaurant industry compatriots where the hell the industry was headed (hint: an infernal bucket ride). The virtually assembled group of chefs, restaurant owners and industry associates decided they wouldn’t take their fate sitting down. Within a week, the newly formed alliance was lobbying local, state and federal legislators for assistance and setting up funds to help out affected hospitality workers. Their good work continues today, and tomorrow. CHRIS CHAMBERLAIN
