We'll be Right Back: The Future of Hospitality

On this week's episode of We'll be Right Back, we are joined by Susan Zemanick, owner and chef of Zasu here in New Orleans. Sue talks about the challenges of adapting menus with "food that does not travel well," as well as the very uncertain fate of "fine dining."

Every episode we like to mention an amazing group or individual contributing to the relief effort. Today, we’d like to highlight and encourage you all to check out Chef’s Brigade. Chef’s Brigade is a collection of New Orleans restaurants, chefs, and servers feeding healthcare workers and first responders while financially supporting independent restaurants, culinary talent, and service industry in the community.
