Now, everything has changed. Chairs have been removed to promote social distancing; every employee is required to sanitize their eating area and workspace; bosses have changed the way they bring in food for their workers on special occasions. Now that the Bay Area company is in the process of moving its South San Francisco facility to San Leandro, it’s facing challenges it never expected. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Torani \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/Food-manufacturers-find-a-home-in-San-Leandro-14928210.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">first announced plans to move\u003c/span>\u003c/a> back in December\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The company had outgrown its space, and the rent was going to increase. “We were faced with a need to move to continue to grow,” says CEO Melanie Dulbecco. “We’re currently paying rent in three locations right now, and it’s really hard. Rent in the Bay Area is not an easy thing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then March marked the start of the Bay Area’s shelter-in-place orders, and the company encountered a whole new set of hurdles. It’s one thing to move a factory under normal circumstances. There’s an update in technology, training employees on the new factory lines, compliance certifications, fire alarm testing and a massive migration of people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But during the pandemic, Dulbecco had to figure out how to do all of that safely. She originally had plans to move in May and in the beginning of June. But that was no longer feasible. The company developed a task force to look at different solutions. It was able to extend its lease on one of its South San Francisco buildings for a month. “It was expensive, but we needed to do it,” says Dulbecco. “We couldn’t extend the other building because Amazon is already renting it. So we’re up against a wall.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And Torani couldn’t wait until the pandemic and shelter-in-place cleared to start the move. “We wanted to move forward, and we needed to move forward,” says Dulbecco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137382\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137382\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The exterior of the new Torani syrup factory facility\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exterior of the new San Leandro facility. \u003ccite>(Torani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company is currently still producing in South San Francisco, with a quarter of production now happening in the new San Leandro space. The goal is to move one line of production at a time, which takes about six weeks to install. “It’s taken a lot of heroics on part of the team members,” says Dulbecco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of those team members is Greg Phillips, who is the director of manufacturing at Torani. He’s been with the company for seven years and runs all of the manufacturing operations. “It’s been interesting,” says Phillips. “The whole world changed in March, and it’s been a real challenge, but it’s also been extremely rewarding.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Possibly one of the biggest difficulties has been training employees on the new lines built at the San Leandro facility. Phillips says that how they’ve approached training in the coronavirus era has “fundamentally changed.” There are steps like limiting the number of people in a training room, sanitizing desks and reconfiguring communication in an already noisy factory. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a typical training, Phillips would have five to seven people clustered around a 10-foot area looking at an iPad or training apparatus. “In manufacturing, you’re touching buttons, you’re clearing a jam that’s bottling,” says Phillips. It’s hands-on work that can’t really be replaced by a Zoom meeting or a how-to video. It’s tactile and requires in-person supervision. To work safely under those parameters, the company has staggered its working hours and training sessions. It has also reduced the number of people per training. Phillips also mentioned that the company is trying to limit the number of people who commute between the two factories while they’re in transition. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137383\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137383\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch of the Torani lobby\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sketch of the new Torani lobby. \u003ccite>(Torani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One advantage of being in food manufacturing is that workers on the factory line are already used to wearing personal protective equipment. “We probably wash our hands 20-30 times already pre-COVID,” says Phillips. “But now we just have to be really smart about it.” The harder thing for the company is how they’d use the space for things like breaks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re not a meatpacking plant,” says Dulbecco. “We don’t have people working shoulder-to-shoulder. But people really connect around the table together.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amid all the changes, one thing that Dulbecco wants to avoid are layoffs. A big part of Torani’s sales come from independent cafes, and with many of them currently closed, the company had to plan for how it could keep retention at 100% with a 20% or 50% downturn in business. So far, it’s been successful. “In our 95-year history, we’ve never had layoffs,” says Dulbecco. “We want to have our 100th anniversary saying the same thing.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was able to extend its lease on one of its South San Francisco buildings for a month. “It was expensive, but we needed to do it,” says Dulbecco. “We couldn’t extend the other building because Amazon is already renting it. So we’re up against a wall.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And Torani couldn’t wait until the pandemic and shelter-in-place cleared to start the move. “We wanted to move forward, and we needed to move forward,” says Dulbecco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137382\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137382\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The exterior of the new Torani syrup factory facility\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Exterior-Corner.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exterior of the new San Leandro facility. \u003ccite>(Torani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company is currently still producing in South San Francisco, with a quarter of production now happening in the new San Leandro space. The goal is to move one line of production at a time, which takes about six weeks to install. “It’s taken a lot of heroics on part of the team members,” says Dulbecco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He’s been with the company for seven years and runs all of the manufacturing operations. “It’s been interesting,” says Phillips. “The whole world changed in March, and it’s been a real challenge, but it’s also been extremely rewarding.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Possibly one of the biggest difficulties has been training employees on the new lines built at the San Leandro facility. Phillips says that how they’ve approached training in the coronavirus era has “fundamentally changed.” There are steps like limiting the number of people in a training room, sanitizing desks and reconfiguring communication in an already noisy factory. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a typical training, Phillips would have five to seven people clustered around a 10-foot area looking at an iPad or training apparatus. “In manufacturing, you’re touching buttons, you’re clearing a jam that’s bottling,” says Phillips. It’s hands-on work that can’t really be replaced by a Zoom meeting or a how-to video. It’s tactile and requires in-person supervision. To work safely under those parameters, the company has staggered its working hours and training sessions. It has also reduced the number of people per training. Phillips also mentioned that the company is trying to limit the number of people who commute between the two factories while they’re in transition. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137383\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137383\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch of the Torani lobby\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/lobby.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sketch of the new Torani lobby. \u003ccite>(Torani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One advantage of being in food manufacturing is that workers on the factory line are already used to wearing personal protective equipment. “We probably wash our hands 20-30 times already pre-COVID,” says Phillips. “But now we just have to be really smart about it.” The harder thing for the company is how they’d use the space for things like breaks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re not a meatpacking plant,” says Dulbecco. “We don’t have people working shoulder-to-shoulder. But people really connect around the table together.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amid all the changes, one thing that Dulbecco wants to avoid are layoffs. A big part of Torani’s sales come from independent cafes, and with many of them currently closed, the company had to plan for how it could keep retention at 100% with a 20% or 50% downturn in business. So far, it’s been successful. “In our 95-year history, we’ve never had layoffs,” says Dulbecco. “We want to have our 100th anniversary saying the same thing.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

For a good pork chop for grilling, look for one with pearly white fat that’s about half an inch to three-quarters of an inch. Look for dark pork, as opposed to lighter pork resembling chicken breast. In all cuts, especially for meats that are going to be smoked or baked low and slow, a good amount of fat will help add to the flavor. In terms of where to go, Farr recommends Clove and Hoof in Oakland, and Marina Meats or Fatted Calf, both in San Francisco. Several local butcheries are open during the pandemic, which are great spots to look for prime cuts, especially with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/09/853349931/meatpackers-warn-that-the-coronavirus-outbreaks-might-lead-to-meat-shortages\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">potential meat shortages\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Grilling is what you do on July 4. It's high heat, over charcoal. Barbecue, however, is all about that low and slow. Here, it's all about the smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who live in apartments or don’t have a smoker or grill at home, the oven, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thespruceeats.com/best-grill-pans-4160537\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">grill pan\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and cast iron pan are the best tools to turn to. When it comes to barbecue, without smoke, the main focus is on the actual technique, says Farr. That means cooking it low and slow with dry heat. For something like a brisket, he recommends setting the oven to 215° F on a non-convection setting if you have a convection oven. For a five-pound piece of pork shoulder without a bone, Farr says he’d bake it at that temperature for five to seven hours until the internal temperature reaches 180° F.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there may not be smoke, there are other ways to create depth of flavor and browning. Farr recommends using raw turbinado sugar in the dry rub. The sugar will react to the heat over time, and will caramelize and lend color. Patience is also key here. “You don’t want to go in there with your fork and start pulling apart the meat,” says Farr. Picking at it too often and too soon will release the internal moisture, and it can end up drying out the meat. “One big tip is that you don’t want to do anything. After you take it out of the oven, put it on the stove and let it rest for up to an hour. If you start to see steam come out when cutting, it’s still too hot. If you see steam, that’s your juice. That’s the stuff you want to stay in there.”[aside postID='bayareabites_86210' label='Summer Decadence: Crispy Zucchini Fritters with Lemony Yogurt-Herb Dip']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who really want that smoke flavor, your oven can be converted into a makeshift smoker. Grab some applewood smoking chips from the local grocer, hit them with a blow torch right before you put the meat in the oven and place the chips on the bottom rack of the oven at the same time the meat goes in above the chips. Farr says that putting the chips in at the beginning will be the most effective way to get that smoked flavor. The dry heat at the beginning dries out the moisture, and that’s the point where the smoke will adhere to the meat, he says. The smoke might trip up the smoke detector, so consider this a fair warning to do at your own risk, especially if you have a landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a safer way to get a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/95541/memorial-day-recipe-fall-off-the-bone-bbq-baby-back-ribs-with-homemade-barbecue-sauce\">serious rack of ribs\u003c/a>. You'll need an oven, a grill and a spicy rub to get things started. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Grilling Without a Grill\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of grilling, a good sear and browning can be achieved from the oven broiler or a well seasoned pre-heated cast iron pan. There won’t be grill marks unless you have a grill pan, but both options are good in getting even high-heat for burgers, and simulated grilled veggies. One trick Farr uses for searing steaks or burger patties is to heat the pan until it’s nice and hot on medium heat. It will take some time to get the right temperature, but this will ensure an even temperature on the whole surface of your pan. You can test the temperature by pressing a side of the meat or burger patty you’re grilling in the pan. Right before turning, crank up the heat to high and flip. Farr says that this ensures a sear on both sides. Be careful with oil here because more oil equals more smoke (and more potential for your fire alarm going off).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And Finally: Learning about Condiments\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a virtual cooking class that focuses on what to put on your burger, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/KHKGC680k4sojALJFBg7OE?domain=avitaltours.com\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rooh’s Pujan Sarkar\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> hosts a how-to on rhubarb chutney on May 24 ($25).

For a good pork chop for grilling, look for one with pearly white fat that’s about half an inch to three-quarters of an inch. Look for dark pork, as opposed to lighter pork resembling chicken breast. In all cuts, especially for meats that are going to be smoked or baked low and slow, a good amount of fat will help add to the flavor. In terms of where to go, Farr recommends Clove and Hoof in Oakland, and Marina Meats or Fatted Calf, both in San Francisco. Several local butcheries are open during the pandemic, which are great spots to look for prime cuts, especially with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/09/853349931/meatpackers-warn-that-the-coronavirus-outbreaks-might-lead-to-meat-shortages\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">potential meat shortages\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Barbecue, however, is all about that low and slow. Here, it's all about the smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who live in apartments or don’t have a smoker or grill at home, the oven, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thespruceeats.com/best-grill-pans-4160537\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">grill pan\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and cast iron pan are the best tools to turn to. When it comes to barbecue, without smoke, the main focus is on the actual technique, says Farr. That means cooking it low and slow with dry heat. For something like a brisket, he recommends setting the oven to 215° F on a non-convection setting if you have a convection oven. For a five-pound piece of pork shoulder without a bone, Farr says he’d bake it at that temperature for five to seven hours until the internal temperature reaches 180° F.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there may not be smoke, there are other ways to create depth of flavor and browning. Farr recommends using raw turbinado sugar in the dry rub. The sugar will react to the heat over time, and will caramelize and lend color. Patience is also key here. “You don’t want to go in there with your fork and start pulling apart the meat,” says Farr. Picking at it too often and too soon will release the internal moisture, and it can end up drying out the meat. “One big tip is that you don’t want to do anything. After you take it out of the oven, put it on the stove and let it rest for up to an hour. If you start to see steam come out when cutting, it’s still too hot. If you see steam, that’s your juice. That’s the stuff you want to stay in there.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Grab some applewood smoking chips from the local grocer, hit them with a blow torch right before you put the meat in the oven and place the chips on the bottom rack of the oven at the same time the meat goes in above the chips. Farr says that putting the chips in at the beginning will be the most effective way to get that smoked flavor. The dry heat at the beginning dries out the moisture, and that’s the point where the smoke will adhere to the meat, he says. The smoke might trip up the smoke detector, so consider this a fair warning to do at your own risk, especially if you have a landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a safer way to get a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/95541/memorial-day-recipe-fall-off-the-bone-bbq-baby-back-ribs-with-homemade-barbecue-sauce\">serious rack of ribs\u003c/a>. You'll need an oven, a grill and a spicy rub to get things started. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Grilling Without a Grill\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of grilling, a good sear and browning can be achieved from the oven broiler or a well seasoned pre-heated cast iron pan. There won’t be grill marks unless you have a grill pan, but both options are good in getting even high-heat for burgers, and simulated grilled veggies. One trick Farr uses for searing steaks or burger patties is to heat the pan until it’s nice and hot on medium heat. It will take some time to get the right temperature, but this will ensure an even temperature on the whole surface of your pan. You can test the temperature by pressing a side of the meat or burger patty you’re grilling in the pan. Right before turning, crank up the heat to high and flip. Farr says that this ensures a sear on both sides. Be careful with oil here because more oil equals more smoke (and more potential for your fire alarm going off).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And Finally: Learning about Condiments\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a virtual cooking class that focuses on what to put on your burger, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/KHKGC680k4sojALJFBg7OE?domain=avitaltours.com\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rooh’s Pujan Sarkar\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> hosts a how-to on rhubarb chutney on May 24 ($25).

During the month of fasting and reflection, communal prayers and meals that mark Ramadan have become more localized events at home with extended family and sermons from imams broadcasts via Zoom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On weekends, everybody wants to break fast with friends and family.” says Zareen Khan who owns popular South Asian eatery \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/zareensrestaurant/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zareen’s in Palo Alto and Mountain View\u003c/a>. “[There's] usually a communal Iftar [at the mosque] which is very good for the community. Now, sadly, this is not there and a lot of it is being done on Zoom. Everybody is trying to adapt, including businesses.” This year, Khan has been offering two special dishes she grew up eating during Ramadan on her restaurants’ menu. One of them is falooda, a rose-flavored dessert drink with glass noodles topped off with kulfi and nuts. “That's very popular,” Khan says. Zareen’s has also added the hearty lentil and wheat stew haleem, which Khan serves with chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2018, Samira Abderahman created Black Iftar while living in her hometown of Chicago. Held at Black-owned restaurants and community centers, Abderahman sought to create a space where Black Muslims could commune, eat and sit in fellowship. “Chicago is hyper-segregated,” she says of the challenge of a centralized iftar experience. She added that she was frustrated with the lack of response and support for the Black Lives Matter by mosques. “How are the masjids so quiet in that regard?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Black Iftar was born at Currency Exchange Cafe in Chicago’s Southside neighborhood. “I thought it was just going to be one night, me and my friends, different scholars and artists that I knew,” Abderahman explained. “It was that. But it went viral on Twitter, and people had so many opinions about it. Both in support of it, in admiration and also [criticism].” That same month, Black Iftar “chapters” spread to Los Angeles, the DMV and Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137306\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137306\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-800x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Iftar meal\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-800x576.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-160x115.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-768x553.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-1020x734.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iftar table setting at a previous Black Iftar event. \u003ccite>(Black Iftar)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year, things are a bit different for Abderahman, and she has some reluctance to move Black Iftar online. “I had my reservations [about the digital space] because I don't like being on the internet more than I need to be,” she says. “When Ramadan was beginning, people were grieving that they weren't going to be able to participate in the Ramadan that they once knew. Everybody was immediately pushing towards all these digital events all the time.” Abderahman decided to host four Zoom gatherings, one for each week of Ramadan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She describes her approach to Black Iftar as a “slow start.”\u003cbr>\n“Each one has had like 130, and the last one had 175 people in it,” says Abderahman with surprise. She also expressed joy at the geographic diversity at the virtual gatherings, including friends in Kenya. “It makes me so happy that people from all over the United States and different parts of the world are tuned in to hear something, just to be in communion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Eid, which is set to falls on May 23 this year, Aberahman has been strictly isolating in preparation for a day of physical communion. “Me, my cousin and my other friends, we all committed to staying quarantined for two weeks so that we could spend Eid together,” she explained. “We also committed to dressing up.” The crew plans on ordering a big take-out order from an Ethiopian restaurant in the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/emAsKYShwuk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Zareen’s, Khan is planning a special celebration on Chand Raat, the evening the crescent moon appears signifying the end of Ramadan. “On that night, for the last six years I've been in business. We would have a fundraiser for any area that's in crisis,” she says. In past years, Khan gathered volunteers who did henna while she made special desserts and snacks that benefited an organization of her choice. Last year, it was the International Relief Committee and the White Helmets in Syria the year before. “We gather up to $7,000 to $10,000 every year,” Khan says. “It was really sad this time we're not able to do it, but my husband and I had an idea to do a Chand Raat celebration over Zoom.” This year, Khan is offering sheer khurma, an Eid specialty dessert, as well as kulfi at her restaurants, and sales will go toward Doctors Without Borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things are changing so fast with everything around us,” says Khan. “It has been a concerning and stressful time for all of us. But the silver lining for us is seeing the way the community has supported small businesses. It has been really heartwarming, amazing.” Khan says strangers have offered her money that she has refused, though she is touched by the effort. “The fact that [they] are offering is good enough. I want to give [them] a social distance hug!” she says. “It has been a revelation to me that restaurants are not just there to give food but they're there to comfort people, to make their day better and to serve your community. And now the community is supporting us and rallying for us.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Both in support of it, in admiration and also [criticism].” That same month, Black Iftar “chapters” spread to Los Angeles, the DMV and Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137306\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137306\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-800x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Iftar meal\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-800x576.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-160x115.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-768x553.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage-1020x734.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/RenderedImage.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iftar table setting at a previous Black Iftar event. \u003ccite>(Black Iftar)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year, things are a bit different for Abderahman, and she has some reluctance to move Black Iftar online. “I had my reservations [about the digital space] because I don't like being on the internet more than I need to be,” she says. “When Ramadan was beginning, people were grieving that they weren't going to be able to participate in the Ramadan that they once knew. Everybody was immediately pushing towards all these digital events all the time.” Abderahman decided to host four Zoom gatherings, one for each week of Ramadan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bay Area \u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">food\u003c/span> industry was in a quiet but persistent crisis. The majority of \u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">restaurant\u003c/span> workers earned far below a living wage for the region, even for jobs with tips factored in. Steadily rising residential and commercial rents meant that \u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">restaurant\u003c/span> owners swallowed slim margins as an industry standard that would outlive their ambitions. Farmworkers across the state toiled from dusk until dawn with no employer or government safety nets to count on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the pandemic hit and “everything changed,” said Mourad Lahlou, the chef and owner of Mourad and Aziza in San Francisco. “It shattered what was solid, and it exposed what was weak.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From farms to restaurants and workers, there’s a lot of uncertainty that hangs over food systems and its fragile infrastructure. Amidst the crisis, is there potential to rebuild a more equitable food industry? What solutions could address the flaws that predate the pandemic? These are the questions we asked seven Bay Area food figures who are grappling with long-lived issues magnified by a new reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Restaurant Dilemma\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mourad Lahlou, chef and owner of Mourad and Aziza\u003cem>: \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>The problem is not so much when we're going to be able to open our restaurants again. What's going to happen is they're going to let us open at half capacity. People are going to be freaked out about sitting around other people. We're going to start taking temperatures of people who come in. We're going to start wearing gloves and masks and have disposable menus as if we were a business that had a big margin where we can afford to do these things. Our rent is going to be the same. The insurance companies are going to charge the same premiums. Minimum wage is still the same. It's incomprehensible to even think that anybody is going to survive this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we don't really address these issues now in a very forceful way, I truly believe that the impact of this is going to last way beyond the vaccine or the eradication of this pandemic. That's what keeps me up at night. It’s so scary to me that only the big corporations are going to have the means and the possibility to open restaurants whenever they want, wherever they want. That desire for people to share their culture wherever they're coming from, I'm afraid that's going to go away and the diversity [of the industry] is going to be damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137277\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Mourad Lahlou of Aziza and Mourad in San Francisco fears the pandemic and its aftermath will decimate diversity in dining. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mourad Lahlou of Aziza and Mourad in San Francisco fears the pandemic and its aftermath will decimate diversity in dining. \u003ccite>(Jude Rywelski )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were almost immoral conditions for people to be able to survive in cities like San Francisco where people could not even afford to live in the places they work.

The food industry is incredibly difficult. It's a business with such slim profit margins where seven to 10 percent is an industry standard. Commercial real estate in this town is untenable. That piece of the puzzle has played a big role in this effort to survive the crisis. The vast majority of businesses that cannot reach some sort of full rent abatement or meaningful rent negotiations with their landlords — it will be impossible [for them] to reopen. And that's not taking into account other outstanding loans that businesses might have, rehiring so many employees and restocking your kitchens. For some folks, reopening their doors will be a similar investment to the investment they had to make when they opened their restaurant in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a really difficult time, a time that puts a lot of people's livelihoods at risk. Not just the restaurant owners, but everybody that's employed within this industry. But it also allows this industry a chance to reassess and build a system that takes more factors into account. Not all restaurants are built the same. What a small mom-and-pop shop in the Mission needs might look very different than what a small mom-and-pop shop in [San Francisco's] Chinatown needs. It's not until we start really working together with the support of folks who can bring about change and fight on our behalf that we'll see the outcome we need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137278\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-800x568.png\" alt=\"Incubator La Cocina's is offering multi-meal food boxes to offset the severe fall in revenue its businesses have experienced.\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-800x568.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-160x114.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-768x545.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-1020x724.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung.png 1491w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Incubator La Cocina offers food boxes from its businesses to offset their revenue losses. \u003ccite>(Gene X Hwang / Orange Photography )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We are very fortunate to not have a \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5404475/history-tipping-american-restaurants-civil-war/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tipped minimum wage\u003c/a> here in the state of California. But at the same time, the vast majority of our employees in the food industry are not [getting] a living wage [and] restaurant owners are unable to bear any more weight on that front. I don't know what the answer is there, but it seems like we need to ensure that we have affordable housing and more of it so that we can keep folks wanting to work in this industry in our area, which was already a huge problem before this crisis hit.

Public health emergencies exploit existing systemic inequalities across the board. Prior to the pandemic, one in four San Franciscans, that's over 200,000 people, were experiencing food insecurity. And now, [that] number has likely skyrocketed. We have existing food insecurity, we have people who are laid off and becoming newly food insecure. We have the particulars of the pandemics that make it hard to access food: transportation, the need to socially distance, the need to wear face covering, limitation on store hours and the impact that COVID-19 continues up the chain for our farmers, for our producers. In the Bay Area, we are surrounded by so much wealth.

That's where my great grandmother was born. As a result of UC Berkeley in 1925 erroneously writing that our people were extinct, in 1927 an agent from the Bureau of Indian affairs struck our Tribe off the list of recognized tribes. Ever since then, our Tribe has been working to have that federal recognition restored. What this means [is] that we don't have a protected land base where we could be able to live together as a community. Nowadays, what we do is we negotiate relationships with park districts. We negotiated gathering permits with certain East Bay regional parks [and] we've been able to gather our foods there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Louis Trevino, co-founder, Cafe Ohlone: \u003c/strong>The East Bay Park District and the Hayward Area Recreation District and other park districts in the area deciding to close trails and parks [where it is] difficult to social distance is a responsible thing to do, but it is also a way that the park districts are exercising the ability to lock the gates. [Doing so] excludes the most local indigenous people, Vincent's family here in the East Bay, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, from being able to go out into their ancestral places. It sheds light on the fact that even though today we have been able to negotiate leverage positive relationships with the East Bay park park district, that relationship still exists within a colonial framework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote citation='Vincent Medina']'In this time of a slowdown, we can really dream and imagine.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vincent Medina: \u003c/strong>We want to make sure that we're continuing to do what we do, where we gather our foods with prayer and gratitude. We feed our community and we teach the public. But we also know that whatever we're going to do into the future, it's going to have to move slowly, carefully and cautiously. And Cafe Ohlone, it’s not going to look exactly like what it did before the shutdown where the cafe was so full that we would have to turn some people away for that time and invite them back. One of the potential outcomes of all of this could be this beautiful transformative time where a lot of those flaws that are having light shed on them can be corrected and fixed. In this time of a slowdown, we can really dream and imagine right now as we're, as we're all stuck inside. We know that our wisdom as Ohlone people and the wisdom that our elders carry and teach is more needed right now than ever. It has the ability to teach us that there's a better way forward that can transform the faltering society that we're living in, into something that's much more meaningful and richer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Finding Solutions and Leveraging Momentum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shakirah Simley: \u003c/strong>Sometimes what you see within pandemics is that you can be more flexible and creative in thinking about recovery. Advocates have been working for half a decade to get people to be able to buy groceries online with food stamps, and it happened in a snap. I'm hoping [we keep] the flexibility and adaptability of some of these federal and state programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm hoping there's a greater appreciation or direct relationships with people who feed you, from restaurant owners to farmers to artisans folks to your grocer. People are asking themselves, \"If our industrial food system fails, what can I get locally to help me meet this need?\" [The answer] is built on relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of our local restaurants, farmers markets and grocers have rather been extremely adaptive. That’s really powerful and I hope they're able to sustain that model and so we'd have more community, neighborhood-based feeding models. Even from aunty who lives in one housing development making plates for everybody and delivering it door to door with plates wrapped in aluminum foil. That needs to be maintained. The industry itself is stepping up and being adaptive, but there's individual people who have stepped up to feed their neighborhood, and often for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mourad Lahlou: \u003c/strong>The majority of the work we've been doing with [Bay Area Hospitality Coalition] is to help the community and our fellow industry people. But at the same time, it's been good for us because we are talking to each other. It's a therapeutic session every day where we cry one day, we yell one day, we laugh one day. We're supportive of each other and it's been really wonderful. I've never been closer to my chef or hospitality community as much as I am right now. One of the ideas that I had was to ask the federal or state government to compensate us if we're mandated to open at half capacity. To compensate the other half so that we are able to pay people what we're supposed to pay them. We are able to pay our rents without being harassed. We are able to pay our purveyors, our farmers without asking them to wait 30 days or 60 days before they get a check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Restaurant Opportunity Center's Maria Moreno is working towards safety nets for undocumented workers in the restaurant industry. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Restaurant Opportunity Center's Maria Moreno insists service work in the restaurant industry be treated as a career. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Maria Moreno)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maria Moreno: \u003c/strong>Right now we're working on a “right to return” policy to ensure that workers who were already hired by restaurants all over the Bay Area actually have a place to come back to. And not just in restaurants, but all kinds of jobs. The policy requires [businesses] to rehire laid-off workers before hiring other people. If they only need 50% of the staff that they had before, that's okay. They just have to bring back laid-off workers who have worked there the longest and in qualifications that they need until they have as many workers as they need. It's not asking businesses to take on more than they can handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Personal and Corporate Accountability\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jocelyn Jackson, co-founder of People’s Kitchen Collective:\u003c/strong> People want to say “You have my thoughts and prayers,” or there's the feeling of wanting to do the hero worship [of] the folks that are on the frontline. I appreciate the intention of that, but what doesn't happen at that celebration of their sacrifice is acknowledging that the people deeply impacted by these capitalists or profit-driven decisions are being put in harm's way. It doesn't matter if we call them heroes if they can't also be supported in their humanity. And that means having the pay that respects the value of who they are, the safety equipment that they need, the healthcare that they need, the housing. To have the visibility that's required for our economy to totally, absolutely shift forevermore away from something that invisibilizes and dehumanizes them. Folks that are getting the support like the medical community, they deserve it, absolutely they do—but are food workers getting that same support? Are they getting the offers of free meals for a year? Are they being offered hotel rooms so they can quarantine so they don't put their families at risk? No, because the disposable nature of the food community is so entrenched in the habits of this industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote citation='Jocelyn Jackson']' It doesn't matter if we call them heroes if they can't also be supported in their humanity.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accountability is often achieved through watchdog groups—people taking the initiative and the personal responsibility to hold corporations accountable for their actions. There needs to be a new wave of that in the activist world. It's not simply mutual aid. It's not just the activism of protest. It's not an easy task. [But] it's essential because we're using this phrase “essential workers,” and it feels like a misnomer because of the treatment that they're experiencing. The essential quality is their humanity and for that to be lifted up and for that to be amplified is one of the biggest parts of re-shaping the food community so that it is supportive of everyone at every level and not filled with the dynamics of disposability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137274\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137274\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/PKCKitchen136.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People's Kitchen Collective founders Saqib Keval, Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik and Jocelyn Jackson have spent the past 10 years imagining and working towards more equitable food systems. \u003ccite>(Sana Javeri Kadri)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik, co-founder, People’s Kitchen Collective: \u003c/strong>We don't want this to return to the way things were, and it can’t.

The majority of \u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">restaurant\u003c/span> workers earned far below a living wage for the region, even for jobs with tips factored in. Steadily rising residential and commercial rents meant that \u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">restaurant\u003c/span> owners swallowed slim margins as an industry standard that would outlive their ambitions. Farmworkers across the state toiled from dusk until dawn with no employer or government safety nets to count on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the pandemic hit and “everything changed,” said Mourad Lahlou, the chef and owner of Mourad and Aziza in San Francisco. “It shattered what was solid, and it exposed what was weak.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From farms to restaurants and workers, there’s a lot of uncertainty that hangs over food systems and its fragile infrastructure. Amidst the crisis, is there potential to rebuild a more equitable food industry? What solutions could address the flaws that predate the pandemic? These are the questions we asked seven Bay Area food figures who are grappling with long-lived issues magnified by a new reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Restaurant Dilemma\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mourad Lahlou, chef and owner of Mourad and Aziza\u003cem>: \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>The problem is not so much when we're going to be able to open our restaurants again. What's going to happen is they're going to let us open at half capacity. People are going to be freaked out about sitting around other people. We're going to start taking temperatures of people who come in. We're going to start wearing gloves and masks and have disposable menus as if we were a business that had a big margin where we can afford to do these things. Our rent is going to be the same. The insurance companies are going to charge the same premiums. Minimum wage is still the same. It's incomprehensible to even think that anybody is going to survive this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we don't really address these issues now in a very forceful way, I truly believe that the impact of this is going to last way beyond the vaccine or the eradication of this pandemic. That's what keeps me up at night. It’s so scary to me that only the big corporations are going to have the means and the possibility to open restaurants whenever they want, wherever they want. That desire for people to share their culture wherever they're coming from, I'm afraid that's going to go away and the diversity [of the industry] is going to be damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137277\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Mourad Lahlou of Aziza and Mourad in San Francisco fears the pandemic and its aftermath will decimate diversity in dining. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/5EB76FD2-3573-4525-917B-F09A3CC47FB9.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mourad Lahlou of Aziza and Mourad in San Francisco fears the pandemic and its aftermath will decimate diversity in dining. \u003ccite>(Jude Rywelski )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were almost immoral conditions for people to be able to survive in cities like San Francisco where people could not even afford to live in the places they work.

The food industry is incredibly difficult. It's a business with such slim profit margins where seven to 10 percent is an industry standard. Commercial real estate in this town is untenable. That piece of the puzzle has played a big role in this effort to survive the crisis. The vast majority of businesses that cannot reach some sort of full rent abatement or meaningful rent negotiations with their landlords — it will be impossible [for them] to reopen. And that's not taking into account other outstanding loans that businesses might have, rehiring so many employees and restocking your kitchens. For some folks, reopening their doors will be a similar investment to the investment they had to make when they opened their restaurant in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a really difficult time, a time that puts a lot of people's livelihoods at risk. Not just the restaurant owners, but everybody that's employed within this industry. But it also allows this industry a chance to reassess and build a system that takes more factors into account. Not all restaurants are built the same. What a small mom-and-pop shop in the Mission needs might look very different than what a small mom-and-pop shop in [San Francisco's] Chinatown needs. It's not until we start really working together with the support of folks who can bring about change and fight on our behalf that we'll see the outcome we need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137278\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-800x568.png\" alt=\"Incubator La Cocina's is offering multi-meal food boxes to offset the severe fall in revenue its businesses have experienced.\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-800x568.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-160x114.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-768x545.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung-1020x724.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/LaCocina_GeneHwaung.png 1491w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Incubator La Cocina offers food boxes from its businesses to offset their revenue losses. \u003ccite>(Gene X Hwang / Orange Photography )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We are very fortunate to not have a \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5404475/history-tipping-american-restaurants-civil-war/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tipped minimum wage\u003c/a> here in the state of California.

I don't know what the answer is there, but it seems like we need to ensure that we have affordable housing and more of it so that we can keep folks wanting to work in this industry in our area, which was already a huge problem before this crisis hit.

We have the particulars of the pandemics that make it hard to access food: transportation, the need to socially distance, the need to wear face covering, limitation on store hours and the impact that COVID-19 continues up the chain for our farmers, for our producers.

We feed our community and we teach the public. But we also know that whatever we're going to do into the future, it's going to have to move slowly, carefully and cautiously. And Cafe Ohlone, it’s not going to look exactly like what it did before the shutdown where the cafe was so full that we would have to turn some people away for that time and invite them back. One of the potential outcomes of all of this could be this beautiful transformative time where a lot of those flaws that are having light shed on them can be corrected and fixed. In this time of a slowdown, we can really dream and imagine right now as we're, as we're all stuck inside. We know that our wisdom as Ohlone people and the wisdom that our elders carry and teach is more needed right now than ever. It has the ability to teach us that there's a better way forward that can transform the faltering society that we're living in, into something that's much more meaningful and richer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Finding Solutions and Leveraging Momentum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shakirah Simley: \u003c/strong>Sometimes what you see within pandemics is that you can be more flexible and creative in thinking about recovery. Advocates have been working for half a decade to get people to be able to buy groceries online with food stamps, and it happened in a snap. I'm hoping [we keep] the flexibility and adaptability of some of these federal and state programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm hoping there's a greater appreciation or direct relationships with people who feed you, from restaurant owners to farmers to artisans folks to your grocer. People are asking themselves, \"If our industrial food system fails, what can I get locally to help me meet this need?\" [The answer] is built on relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of our local restaurants, farmers markets and grocers have rather been extremely adaptive. That’s really powerful and I hope they're able to sustain that model and so we'd have more community, neighborhood-based feeding models. Even from aunty who lives in one housing development making plates for everybody and delivering it door to door with plates wrapped in aluminum foil. That needs to be maintained. The industry itself is stepping up and being adaptive, but there's individual people who have stepped up to feed their neighborhood, and often for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mourad Lahlou: \u003c/strong>The majority of the work we've been doing with [Bay Area Hospitality Coalition] is to help the community and our fellow industry people. But at the same time, it's been good for us because we are talking to each other. It's a therapeutic session every day where we cry one day, we yell one day, we laugh one day. We're supportive of each other and it's been really wonderful. I've never been closer to my chef or hospitality community as much as I am right now. One of the ideas that I had was to ask the federal or state government to compensate us if we're mandated to open at half capacity. To compensate the other half so that we are able to pay people what we're supposed to pay them. We are able to pay our rents without being harassed. We are able to pay our purveyors, our farmers without asking them to wait 30 days or 60 days before they get a check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Restaurant Opportunity Center's Maria Moreno is working towards safety nets for undocumented workers in the restaurant industry. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/MVIMG_20180920_143505.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Restaurant Opportunity Center's Maria Moreno insists service work in the restaurant industry be treated as a career. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Maria Moreno)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maria Moreno: \u003c/strong>Right now we're working on a “right to return” policy to ensure that workers who were already hired by restaurants all over the Bay Area actually have a place to come back to. And not just in restaurants, but all kinds of jobs. The policy requires [businesses] to rehire laid-off workers before hiring other people. If they only need 50% of the staff that they had before, that's okay. They just have to bring back laid-off workers who have worked there the longest and in qualifications that they need until they have as many workers as they need. It's not asking businesses to take on more than they can handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Personal and Corporate Accountability\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jocelyn Jackson, co-founder of People’s Kitchen Collective:\u003c/strong> People want to say “You have my thoughts and prayers,” or there's the feeling of wanting to do the hero worship [of] the folks that are on the frontline. I appreciate the intention of that, but what doesn't happen at that celebration of their sacrifice is acknowledging that the people deeply impacted by these capitalists or profit-driven decisions are being put in harm's way. It doesn't matter if we call them heroes if they can't also be supported in their humanity. And that means having the pay that respects the value of who they are, the safety equipment that they need, the healthcare that they need, the housing. To have the visibility that's required for our economy to totally, absolutely shift forevermore away from something that invisibilizes and dehumanizes them. Folks that are getting the support like the medical community, they deserve it, absolutely they do—but are food workers getting that same support? Are they getting the offers of free meals for a year? Are they being offered hotel rooms so they can quarantine so they don't put their families at risk? No, because the disposable nature of the food community is so entrenched in the habits of this industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Two cans of tuna, two spoons of mayo, just a little diced red onion and one chopped up piece of celery.

Oh, and a little pickle juice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes I jump straight in with a Ritz cracker and taste the creation. But today, I grabbed wheat bread, two types of cheese (gouda and provolone) and went straight into sandwich-making mode. I combine a little avocado oil and a small piece of butter, put the burner on 3 and let the slow cooking magic begin. The secret to melting the cheese before the bread burns is using a pan with a top. I periodically flip the sandwich a few times to make sure it’s done.

And I certainly didn’t cook any meats more complicated than shrimp or chicken breast. But after weeks without dining at restaurants, I began to crave something fattier than my typical stir-fries, salads and pastas. Berkeley Bowl happened to be out of chicken breasts the day I went, so I decided to be brave and get legs instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After consulting a few online recipes and trusted friends, I decided that this was a relatively uncomplicated pursuit and it was OK to freestyle. I put two chicken legs in a plastic bag and doused them with soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, pepper, chopped onions, garlic and some lemon slices. I let them sit overnight. Then, I put them in the oven for about an hour and 15 minutes at 425 F. A few times during the baking process, I checked on them and scooped some oil, fat and sauce that dripped to the sides onto the top of the skin so it would stay juicy. The meat turned out succulent, falling off the bone, with the skin still crispy. I served it with a side of baked sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and quinoa, which I cooked with the left-over marinade. It’s an easy, healthy and filling dinner that I’ll surely make again. –\u003ci>Nastia Voynovskaya, associate editor\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The next step is making one while wearing a blindfold. The recipe? Two cans of tuna, two spoons of mayo, just a little diced red onion and one chopped up piece of celery. I mix that in an oversized bowl, adding touches of black pepper, onion powder, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Oh, and a little pickle juice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes I jump straight in with a Ritz cracker and taste the creation. But today, I grabbed wheat bread, two types of cheese (gouda and provolone) and went straight into sandwich-making mode. I combine a little avocado oil and a small piece of butter, put the burner on 3 and let the slow cooking magic begin. The secret to melting the cheese before the bread burns is using a pan with a top. I periodically flip the sandwich a few times to make sure it’s done. And then, I throw it on a plate and take bites off-screen while simultaneously taking meeting notes.

And I certainly didn’t cook any meats more complicated than shrimp or chicken breast. But after weeks without dining at restaurants, I began to crave something fattier than my typical stir-fries, salads and pastas. Berkeley Bowl happened to be out of chicken breasts the day I went, so I decided to be brave and get legs instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After consulting a few online recipes and trusted friends, I decided that this was a relatively uncomplicated pursuit and it was OK to freestyle. I put two chicken legs in a plastic bag and doused them with soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, pepper, chopped onions, garlic and some lemon slices. I let them sit overnight. Then, I put them in the oven for about an hour and 15 minutes at 425 F. A few times during the baking process, I checked on them and scooped some oil, fat and sauce that dripped to the sides onto the top of the skin so it would stay juicy. The meat turned out succulent, falling off the bone, with the skin still crispy. I served it with a side of baked sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and quinoa, which I cooked with the left-over marinade. It’s an easy, healthy and filling dinner that I’ll surely make again. –\u003ci>Nastia Voynovskaya, associate editor\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>When the coronavirus and shelter-in-place first hit, Wine Country was faced with a huge challenge: What does Wine Country look like if you can’t visit the tasting room?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With [the wildfires] in 2017, you knew at some point that the fires would end, and whether or not you'd have a winery standing,\" says Katie Bundschu of \u003cstrong>Gundlach Bundschu\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Abbot's Passage \u003c/strong>in Sonoma County. \"The difference with this is the uncertainty and the unknown that comes with it. Adapting and changing will be the name of the game for a while.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wineries' ability to adapt and change was made easier on March 19, when the California Alcoholic Beverage Control \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc.ca.gov/law-and-policy/coronavirus19/\">temporarily relaxed regulations\u003c/a> to allow for, among other things, to-go wine sales at restaurants with takeout orders and alcoholic delivery to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, virtual wine tastings and events started to appear, especially among wineries that ordinarily rely on foot traffic to drive direct-to-consumer sales and promote memberships. With most people at home on Zoom for everything from concerts to board meetings, virtual tastings allow wineries to ship bottles and provide a tasting room experience direct to one's living room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past two months, more and more wineries have turned to these livestreamed experiences to retain the customers they currently have as well as expand their reach. Virtual tastings and events have filled the void in what one winery executive calls an \"absolutely essential part of the wine industry,\" and even after wineries reopen, it looks like they might be here to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Building Loyalty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11630558\" label=\"After the Fires, Wine Country Wants Tourists\"]For Mark Hanson, co-founder of the newer boutique Windsor winery \u003cstrong>Bricoleur\u003c/strong>, virtual events offered a chance to reach a national audience. The winery had planned to open its public-facing tasting room in May, and hired chef Shane McAnelly, formerly of Chalkboard, and a sous chef for food and wine tasting experiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed with the pandemic. In order to keep people employed, the winery began hosting \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/bricoleurvineyards/posts/1130895357293884:0\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quarantine Kitchen Live\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Zoom cook-along.

For Hanson, these events are about the soft sell and building relationships rather than direct bottle sales. Hopefully, he says, those participating will eventually visit the winery once it's possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137216\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-137216 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Two chefs chopping vegetables\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bricoleur executive chef Shane McAnelly (left) and tasting room & hospitality director Chris Richard prep vegetables for a burger Quarantine Kitchen Live. \u003ccite>(Bricoleur Vineyards)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We believe, right or wrong, in having a fun experience, on our property or virtually,” says Hanson. “People are going to want to join, so we’ve never really been a hard-sell type of business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some other larger or more historic wineries, at Bricoleur virtually all the sales are direct-to-consumer: from the tasting room, internet sales and the wine club. Last year, 10% of Bricoleur's sales came from e-commerce. This year, that figure has jumped to about 40%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanson says that being a newer winery without distribution deals to grocers and restaurants comes with the good and the bad. The winery may lack name recognition, but it's also not hit too hard by restaurants not selling as much wine during shelter-in-place. Hanson's also been able to offset losses through virtual wine tastings to wine club members and virtual happy hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The greatest fear during the pandemic has been attrition in the wine club,” says Hanson. With people getting furloughed or losing their jobs, he'd worried members would no longer be able to purchase wine. Instead, Hanson says, membership has actually grown by 20 people in the last six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to Stand Out\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Other wineries, like \u003cstrong>Three Sticks\u003c/strong> in Sonoma, have seen relative success through virtual tastings. When the winery began hosting communal tastings to its wine club members for their new releases, instead of coming in to pick up a wine shipment and get a tasting hosted by a team member, 40-70 members hopped on a Zoom call with the owner and winemaker, says public relations manager Maral Papakhian. “The wine industry has been slow to get into the online game and get its feet wet,” says Papakhian. “We’re finding that collaborating with chefs and various partners online has been fun and beneficial for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick, Papakhian says, is trying to stand out and adapt with technology. “Forty percent of our new club members and visitors are people who actually come in and taste at the physical location,” she says. “We had to shift immediately to virtual. It’s hard to cut through the noise. But we try to bring in outside elements that they wouldn’t normally get. The goal isn’t to replace the tasting room, but to take the label outside of the [tasting room] walls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like in-person tasting rooms, each virtual tasting room has its own nuances. Some charge full-price for their bottles and waive delivery fees. Others offer complimentary tastings and a percentage off of their bottles. Still, others don't charge tasting fees and opt for charging a slightly below-retail price for their wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137202\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137202\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Yayoi Kusama pumpkin is part of Donum Estate's sculpture collection of about 40 pieces. \u003ccite>(Robert Berg / Donum Estate)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The \u003cstrong>Donum Estate\u003c/strong> in Carneros, famous for its sculpture garden, is just starting out in the virtual tasting space. Participants must buy a full lineup of bottles in order to join the tasting with winemaker Dan Fishman. The kits ($325–$600) all feature a virtual tour through the sculpture garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the price tag may seem daunting to some, Donum's vice president of sales and hospitality Michael McNeil says it actually makes Donum more accessible. “It’s about being realistic,” says McNeil. “It’s not realistic to say 'For $1,000, you can come taste with us.'” On a regular basis, tastings at Donum start at $95 per person, and the winery didn’t ever anticipate having a digital experience. But, according to McNeil, he anticipates it will be a reward; the winery has seen very little attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being in the wine industry for 21 years, direct-to-consumer is an absolutely essential part of the wine industry,” says McNeil. “It’s the most profitable. [Coronavirus] will have an impact from the direct-to-consumer perspective. Even though you’re doing this virtually, you’re not collecting tasting fees and still spending on labor. So, how do we create a foundation to say ‘thank you’ and have accessible experiences to keep building loyalty?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Permanent Feature\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even with Napa and Sonoma eager to reopen to public visitors, virtual tasting and drive-thru pickups appear to be here to stay.

Adapting and changing will be the name of the game for a while.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wineries' ability to adapt and change was made easier on March 19, when the California Alcoholic Beverage Control \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc.ca.gov/law-and-policy/coronavirus19/\">temporarily relaxed regulations\u003c/a> to allow for, among other things, to-go wine sales at restaurants with takeout orders and alcoholic delivery to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, virtual wine tastings and events started to appear, especially among wineries that ordinarily rely on foot traffic to drive direct-to-consumer sales and promote memberships. With most people at home on Zoom for everything from concerts to board meetings, virtual tastings allow wineries to ship bottles and provide a tasting room experience direct to one's living room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past two months, more and more wineries have turned to these livestreamed experiences to retain the customers they currently have as well as expand their reach. Virtual tastings and events have filled the void in what one winery executive calls an \"absolutely essential part of the wine industry,\" and even after wineries reopen, it looks like they might be here to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Building Loyalty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>For Mark Hanson, co-founder of the newer boutique Windsor winery \u003cstrong>Bricoleur\u003c/strong>, virtual events offered a chance to reach a national audience. The winery had planned to open its public-facing tasting room in May, and hired chef Shane McAnelly, formerly of Chalkboard, and a sous chef for food and wine tasting experiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed with the pandemic. In order to keep people employed, the winery began hosting \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/bricoleurvineyards/posts/1130895357293884:0\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quarantine Kitchen Live\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Zoom cook-along. What started small now has about 80-100 people tuning in every week and asking questions via chat.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On any given Saturday at 4pm PST across the nation, 80 different Zoom squares fry, stir and sauté alongside \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">McAnelly\u003c/span> without having to pre-purchase bottles. For Hanson, these events are about the soft sell and building relationships rather than direct bottle sales. Hopefully, he says, those participating will eventually visit the winery once it's possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137216\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-137216 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Two chefs chopping vegetables\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Unknown-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bricoleur executive chef Shane McAnelly (left) and tasting room & hospitality director Chris Richard prep vegetables for a burger Quarantine Kitchen Live. \u003ccite>(Bricoleur Vineyards)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We believe, right or wrong, in having a fun experience, on our property or virtually,” says Hanson. “People are going to want to join, so we’ve never really been a hard-sell type of business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some other larger or more historic wineries, at Bricoleur virtually all the sales are direct-to-consumer: from the tasting room, internet sales and the wine club. Last year, 10% of Bricoleur's sales came from e-commerce. This year, that figure has jumped to about 40%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanson says that being a newer winery without distribution deals to grocers and restaurants comes with the good and the bad. The winery may lack name recognition, but it's also not hit too hard by restaurants not selling as much wine during shelter-in-place. Hanson's also been able to offset losses through virtual wine tastings to wine club members and virtual happy hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The greatest fear during the pandemic has been attrition in the wine club,” says Hanson. With people getting furloughed or losing their jobs, he'd worried members would no longer be able to purchase wine. Instead, Hanson says, membership has actually grown by 20 people in the last six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to Stand Out\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Other wineries, like \u003cstrong>Three Sticks\u003c/strong> in Sonoma, have seen relative success through virtual tastings. When the winery began hosting communal tastings to its wine club members for their new releases, instead of coming in to pick up a wine shipment and get a tasting hosted by a team member, 40-70 members hopped on a Zoom call with the owner and winemaker, says public relations manager Maral Papakhian. “The wine industry has been slow to get into the online game and get its feet wet,” says Papakhian. “We’re finding that collaborating with chefs and various partners online has been fun and beneficial for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick, Papakhian says, is trying to stand out and adapt with technology. “Forty percent of our new club members and visitors are people who actually come in and taste at the physical location,” she says. “We had to shift immediately to virtual. It’s hard to cut through the noise. But we try to bring in outside elements that they wouldn’t normally get. The goal isn’t to replace the tasting room, but to take the label outside of the [tasting room] walls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like in-person tasting rooms, each virtual tasting room has its own nuances. Some charge full-price for their bottles and waive delivery fees. Others offer complimentary tastings and a percentage off of their bottles. Still, others don't charge tasting fees and opt for charging a slightly below-retail price for their wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137202\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-137202\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/Kusama-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Yayoi Kusama pumpkin is part of Donum Estate's sculpture collection of about 40 pieces. \u003ccite>(Robert Berg / Donum Estate)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The \u003cstrong>Donum Estate\u003c/strong> in Carneros, famous for its sculpture garden, is just starting out in the virtual tasting space. Participants must buy a full lineup of bottles in order to join the tasting with winemaker Dan Fishman. The kits ($325–$600) all feature a virtual tour through the sculpture garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the price tag may seem daunting to some, Donum's vice president of sales and hospitality Michael McNeil says it actually makes Donum more accessible. “It’s about being realistic,” says McNeil. “It’s not realistic to say 'For $1,000, you can come taste with us.'” On a regular basis, tastings at Donum start at $95 per person, and the winery didn’t ever anticipate having a digital experience. But, according to McNeil, he anticipates it will be a reward; the winery has seen very little attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being in the wine industry for 21 years, direct-to-consumer is an absolutely essential part of the wine industry,” says McNeil. “It’s the most profitable. [Coronavirus] will have an impact from the direct-to-consumer perspective. Even though you’re doing this virtually, you’re not collecting tasting fees and still spending on labor. So, how do we create a foundation to say ‘thank you’ and have accessible experiences to keep building loyalty?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
