Restaurants seem to be more resistant to state shutdowns this time around.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” features Editor-at-Large Peter Romeo, who sits down with host Jonathan Maze to discuss the current state of the pandemic.

Romeo and Maze discuss these issues, and what could happen in the next several months, with or without a federal stimulus.
