If only life were like living in a fairy tale with gingerbread houses and spun sugar gifts. The year past has been just awful to restaurants, diners, bistros and cafes worldwide. We need to order more from our local mom and pop eateries as much as we can. If they're offering outdoor dining , then have a meal in the fresh air if the weather is good - or just bundle up. Try to eat out even twice a month. If you feel this is too much, then order from them at least every week. Make it a fun weekend treat.
2020 taught us to not only protect ourselves but protect each other. This year, in 2021, we need to protect the worldwide restaurant industry. They need us as much as we need them.
