**Bonus Content: Nick Solares Talks On The Corona Virus & The Food Service Industry** Mar 21, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to a special release of The BBQ Central Show. Yesterday (3/20/2020) I was able to talk with Nick Solares, noted food writer and one of the foremost authorities on eating in New York City. There are no shortage of places to feed your hunger in the Big Apple, but, given the current state of our world, I was interested to get Nick's take on how the restaurant industry might look once COVID-19 finally resolves itself. His outlook?? Perhaps it's a bit a bit grim, but it also speaks to how restaurants are operating day to day. When something like COVID-19 come along and shuts everything down (for weeks), it can only lead to the demise of many of our favorite eateries. Nick also offers up some suggestions on how we might prevent such a large loss from occurring. I think you will find this interview very interesting an honest!

Episode 111 What’s on tap: Taking you back to 2/5/2013 – Some of the most popular shows in my history have been "round table" style show. Most ofthe time they were done with competitors and sometimes with backyard folks. In this particular show, we changed it up and did one with 3 certified BBQ judges. I think it was a pretty cool change of pace and is still a good listen 7 years removed from its original air date.As always, if you would like to hear something specific on an upcoming show, please send Jon Solberg and email and let him know what you desire!!
