"description": "GREENFIELD, CA - APRIL 28: Farm laborers from Fresh Harvest arrive early in the morning to begin harvesting on April 28, 2020 in Greenfield, California. They practice social distancing, and use masks, gloves, hair nets and aprons. Fresh Harvest is the one of the largest employers of people using the H-2A temporary agricultural worker visa for labor, harvesting and staffing in the United States. The company is implementing strict health and safety initiatives for their workers during the coronavirus pandemic and are trying a number of new techniques to enhance safety in the field as well as in work accommodations. Employees have their temperature taken daily and are also asked a series of questions about how they feel. Despite current record unemployment rates in the U.S. due to COVID-19-related layoffs, there have been few applications to do this kind of work despite extensive mandatory advertising by companies such as Fresh Harvest.

But how can you place an order in a way that \u003cem>truly\u003c/em> supports restaurants and their staff, who have been so affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? We asked local restaurant staff for their tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plan Ahead as Much as You Can\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One thing about Thanksgiving eating that remains unchanged this year: last-minute planning won't cut it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same way you'd plan your shopping and preparation for a big family gathering, you'll need to plan any restaurant order you're considering — and many establishments will be closing their order window this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"https://www.balboacafesf.com/\">Balboa Cafe\u003c/a> is one such restaurant offering a ready-to-reheat \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.balboacafesf.com/preorder-dinners/thanksgiving-dinner-pre-order\">Thanksgiving Meal Kit\u003c/a>\", with an order deadline of Friday, November 20. They're also offering their \u003ca href=\"https://www.balboacafesf.com/preorder-dinners/beverages\">regular drinks kit\u003c/a> to-go, including the choice of margarita pitchers, bloody marys or wine. Planning ahead is important, says Balboa Cafe's general manager Jesse Caetano, not just to ensure you don't miss the order cut-off but also to make sure you're ordering exactly what you want — as modifications on these Thanksgiving dinners aren't possible the way they might normally be during regular dinner service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland restaurant \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamaroakland.com/\">alaMar\u003c/a> is offering \u003ca href=\"https://alamar-kitchen.square.site/?location=11eb28feb387e8fbb101ac1f6bbbcc9c#2\">two options for Thanksgiving to go\u003c/a>: a BBQ spin on Thanksgiving dinner with smoked turkey, and a seafood boil — as well as holiday pies and cocktail kits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>alaMar's Executive Chef and owner, Nelson German, advises ordering by Monday, November 23, and \"Tuesday at the latest.\" This gives the restaurant a chance to prepare your holiday order to the fullest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-139569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-800x533.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-1020x680.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-160x107.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-768x512.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Restaurants like alaMar in Oakland are offering Thanksgiving dinners to go — including pie \u003ccite>(alaMar )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You should also plan how you'll \u003cem>get\u003c/em> your food from a restaurant, and which pick-up slots are going to be possible for you and your household over the holiday period. Balboa Cafe is offering pick-up on Wednesday, November 25 only, while alaMar offers slots on both Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day — so wherever you're ordering from, make sure that you're going to be able to get there on a given day. (You might also want to check ahead of time about COVID-19 safety precautions being taken at your chosen restaurant, including whether curbside pick-up is being offered.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're hoping to order \"non-Thanksgiving\" food from a restaurant for Thanksgiving Day, consider that restaurants might not decide their plans for this until closer to the day itself. (Basically, don't plan on necessarily being \u003cem>able\u003c/em> to do this.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you're one of those who want to actually eat at a restaurant this Thanksgiving — which will only be available outdoors, due to the recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847641/california-tightens-coronavirus-restrictions-most-counties-must-close-nonessential-indoor-businesses\">widespread closure of indoor dining\u003c/a> — it goes without saying that planning ahead is even more crucial, with limited options for restaurants that are open on Thanksgiving Day. Balboa Cafe, for example, is offering a first-come-first-served lunch service on its patio on Thursday, November 26, followed by reservation-only \u003ca href=\"https://www.balboacafesf.com/thanksgiving-dinner-2020\">Thanksgiving Dinner\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lead With Care and Compassion\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For restaurants that offer service during the holidays, Thanksgiving is a fraught, busy period in the best of years — but during a pandemic year, when so many businesses have been forced to close or barely hung on, all bets are off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside postID=\"science_1970886\"]\u003c/span>That means that extending your respectful understanding to restaurants and their staff at all stages of the Thanksgiving ordering process is the most compassionate, human way to go this holiday season. If you've picked a specific pick-up slot for your food, for example, do your utmost to stick to it. If you're met with any delays or corrections on the restaurant's side, remember what the staff might be up against, stay calm and cool, and work \u003cem>with\u003c/em> them to resolve any situations that need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether you're picking up or ordering for delivery, give a tip. If you're visiting a restaurant to pick up, you might consider doing so in cash when you arrive to grab your Thanksgiving order. Remember that many restaurant workers will be giving up their own holidays to make Thanksgiving service possible, and a tip — at least 20% — is a great way to show your appreciation at this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember: if you've got a query or concern about your order, you'll be making the lives of restaurant staff a great deal easier by getting in touch before Thanksgiving itself. \"Anything that they can do to be preemptive and to really just ask the question before the day of is super helpful,\" says Balboa Cafe's Jesse Caetano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139570\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-139570\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil-800x533.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil-1020x680.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil-160x107.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil-768x512.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/boil-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ordering Thanksgiving dinner to go from a restaurant also means you can stray from a traditional spread -- and try a dish like alaMar's seafood boil \u003ccite>(alaMar)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Consider Your Use of Third-Party Apps\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There's no way around this: third-party apps take a commission from restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you're intent on 100% of your money going to a restaurant you want to support, calling the establishment direct and placing your order over the phone, then picking up from them in person is the most reliable way to ensure that happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, for people who are unable to pick up their order in-person — perhaps because their medical history means they're at a greater risk of complications from COVID-19 — restaurants understand that delivery options via apps are more necessary. “These platforms have saved my business” says alaMar's Nelson German of apps like DoorDash, which his restaurant has used for months to enable more widespread takeout orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Still Cooking at Home? Consider a Pre-Thanksgiving Order\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you're set on whipping up your own Thanksgiving feast from scratch, but still want to support a local restaurant, why not consider ordering in from a nearby establishment for a \u003cem>pre\u003c/em>-Turkey Day dinner?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, alaMar's Thanksgiving options are available for pick-up cold for at-home reheating on Thursday, Nov. 26 itself, but are also being offered hot the day \u003cem>before\u003c/em>, on Wednesday, November 25, during the restaurant's 3 p.m.-close outdoor service hours. Your options for takeout pick-up will also be far more numerous on that Wednesday, when more restaurants are likely to be open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, restaurants want you to know they're hugely grateful for your support, affirms alaMar's Nelson German.

Planning ahead is important, says Balboa Cafe's general manager Jesse Caetano, not just to ensure you don't miss the order cut-off but also to make sure you're ordering exactly what you want — as modifications on these Thanksgiving dinners aren't possible the way they might normally be during regular dinner service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland restaurant \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamaroakland.com/\">alaMar\u003c/a> is offering \u003ca href=\"https://alamar-kitchen.square.site/?location=11eb28feb387e8fbb101ac1f6bbbcc9c#2\">two options for Thanksgiving to go\u003c/a>: a BBQ spin on Thanksgiving dinner with smoked turkey, and a seafood boil — as well as holiday pies and cocktail kits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>alaMar's Executive Chef and owner, Nelson German, advises ordering by Monday, November 23, and \"Tuesday at the latest.\" This gives the restaurant a chance to prepare your holiday order to the fullest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-139569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-800x533.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-1020x680.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-160x107.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-768x512.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/11/pie-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Restaurants like alaMar in Oakland are offering Thanksgiving dinners to go — including pie \u003ccite>(alaMar )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You should also plan how you'll \u003cem>get\u003c/em> your food from a restaurant, and which pick-up slots are going to be possible for you and your household over the holiday period. Balboa Cafe is offering pick-up on Wednesday, November 25 only, while alaMar offers slots on both Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day — so wherever you're ordering from, make sure that you're going to be able to get there on a given day. (You might also want to check ahead of time about COVID-19 safety precautions being taken at your chosen restaurant, including whether curbside pick-up is being offered.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're hoping to order \"non-Thanksgiving\" food from a restaurant for Thanksgiving Day, consider that restaurants might not decide their plans for this until closer to the day itself.

Balboa Cafe, for example, is offering a first-come-first-served lunch service on its patio on Thursday, November 26, followed by reservation-only \u003ca href=\"https://www.balboacafesf.com/thanksgiving-dinner-2020\">Thanksgiving Dinner\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lead With Care and Compassion\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For restaurants that offer service during the holidays, Thanksgiving is a fraught, busy period in the best of years — but during a pandemic year, when so many businesses have been forced to close or barely hung on, all bets are off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There's not enough PPE to sustain the current agriculture workforce in California. So what we're seeing on the ground is that everybody's just trying to get a hold of whatever they can. At a state level, in which PPE distributions have occurred in the past couple of weeks, we're nowhere near meeting the demands to ensure the safety of farmworkers and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hearing from farmworkers about the kinds of dilemmas and choices they're facing, especially in terms of what if they miss work and how do they try to protect their health? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at farmworkers and you ask them, \"How can the state help you during these difficult times?\" the No. 1 thing they will tell you is rent relief. The Central Valley, the coastal areas, everywhere in California, there's a housing crisis. And you're seeing it through farmworkers living in households that have two to three families because they can't afford the rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California did supply some pandemic aid to undocumented immigrants — about $125 million in May. Has that money gotten to farmworkers and helped them during this time?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, it was a very minute force that actually received the California aid, because just in the Central Valley alone we have over 500,000 farmworkers. The aid for the Central Valley was capped at 10,000 undocumented workers, so this didn't encompass just farmworkers, it encompassed any type of undocumented worker that works in retail, that works in restaurants, that works in construction, so a very minute force actually had an opportunity to receive those $500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jonaki Mehta and Sarah Handel produced and edited the audio interview.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

There's not enough PPE to sustain the current agriculture workforce in California. So what we're seeing on the ground is that everybody's just trying to get a hold of whatever they can. At a state level, in which PPE distributions have occurred in the past couple of weeks, we're nowhere near meeting the demands to ensure the safety of farmworkers and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hearing from farmworkers about the kinds of dilemmas and choices they're facing, especially in terms of what if they miss work and how do they try to protect their health? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at farmworkers and you ask them, \"How can the state help you during these difficult times?\" the No. 1 thing they will tell you is rent relief. The Central Valley, the coastal areas, everywhere in California, there's a housing crisis. And you're seeing it through farmworkers living in households that have two to three families because they can't afford the rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California did supply some pandemic aid to undocumented immigrants — about $125 million in May. Has that money gotten to farmworkers and helped them during this time?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, it was a very minute force that actually received the California aid, because just in the Central Valley alone we have over 500,000 farmworkers. The aid for the Central Valley was capped at 10,000 undocumented workers, so this didn't encompass just farmworkers, it encompassed any type of undocumented worker that works in retail, that works in restaurants, that works in construction, so a very minute force actually had an opportunity to receive those $500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jonaki Mehta and Sarah Handel produced and edited the audio interview.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Glass and water are swimming in puddles as community members around them work to sweep away the destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia looks around stunned.

George's life was more important. That man that got killed in the most inhumane way. I hope he gets justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Floyd is the African American man who died after a white police officer pinned his neck to the ground with his knee for several minutes last Monday. Protests started in Minneapolis early last week and quickly spread across the country. Floyd's pleading words to the officer, \"I can't breathe,\" are now a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/29/865261916/a-decade-of-watching-black-people-die\">rallying cry\u003c/a> for people protesting the many black people who have died in police custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia, a Somali immigrant, opened the restaurant in December 2018 with her retirement savings. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, she closed the restaurant and had to choose between paying for insurance and paying staff. So Safia chose her staff. That means there are no funds to rebuild. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-mama-safias-kitchen\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a> has been set up to help the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This weekend, she had planned to reopen as the city started easing stay-at-home orders. She spent over $4,000 on groceries and cleanup. Now that plan is gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just me,\" she says. \"It's all of Lake Street, all of Minneapolis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her daughter Saida nods. \"This is a city in pain,\" Saida says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the street a row of restaurants — all locally owned, black- and immigrant-owned — are all gone. But the library is OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the rubble, Saida finds the sign she made for her mother when the restaurant first opened. Against the black ash the wood plaque is pristine. It reads \"Mama Safia's Kitchen. Seasoned with Love.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because she always cooks with love,\" Saida says. She pulls a few more knickknacks that haven't burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of the artifacts here, I got them from Africa,\" she says. \"This one is from Somalia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She puts them into a tiny pile of what is salvageable. Outside is a tower of all that is lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her sister Bibi Abdullah walks in to help. She finds prayer rugs in the banquet room her mom would rent out for small wedding dinners and religious holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can still use these,\" she says. \"We just have to wash them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She searches for more things she can save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The truth is things like this happen when people feel powerless. Something has to change,\" Bibi says. Her voice catches. Her body seems to vibrate with a mix of anger and sadness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hopes that these demonstrations translate to voters at the polls come November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It came to this because we have people that do not care in positions of power and it should not be that way,\" Bibi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her sister start to clear the big debris together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Saida leads her mother, Safia, to the kitchen in the back so they can assess the damage. It's a tunnel of charred walls, ash and debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia gets upset and pulls away, speaking to her daughter in Somali.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry,\" Saida responds in English as her mother walks out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's just saying, 'Why are you bringing me in here? I don't want to see this,' \" Saida says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saida gets quiet. She stands in the kitchen alone for a moment, staring at the charred walls. Then she joins her family outside where dozens of Minneapolis residents from across the city are working in groups to clear the rubble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With everything unfolding, the pandemic has slipped many people's minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I forgot. Have you seen me shake hands with people?\" Saida shakes her head. \"2020, we hear you, we see you. We went from one crisis to the next. What's next?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saida spends every night protesting, but also trying to protect other locally owned stores and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At night, she cries herself to sleep. She understands the anger and desperation that are leading some to destroy buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm like emotionally torn,\" Saida says. She doesn't want destruction. \"But at the same time, people are crying for help. People are saying, 'Fix this.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hopes, from all of this pain, finally there will be change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Glass and water are swimming in puddles as community members around them work to sweep away the destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia looks around stunned. Hers is one of hundreds of businesses damaged or destroyed in protests on Thursday and Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cem>Alhamdulillah\u003c/em>,\" she repeats quietly. Praise God. \"Everyone is safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My heart is broken. My mind is broken,\" she says. \"I know I can't come back from this. But this can be replaced. George's life cannot. George's life was more important. That man that got killed in the most inhumane way. I hope he gets justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Floyd is the African American man who died after a white police officer pinned his neck to the ground with his knee for several minutes last Monday. Protests started in Minneapolis early last week and quickly spread across the country. Floyd's pleading words to the officer, \"I can't breathe,\" are now a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/29/865261916/a-decade-of-watching-black-people-die\">rallying cry\u003c/a> for people protesting the many black people who have died in police custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia, a Somali immigrant, opened the restaurant in December 2018 with her retirement savings. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, she closed the restaurant and had to choose between paying for insurance and paying staff. So Safia chose her staff. That means there are no funds to rebuild. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-mama-safias-kitchen\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a> has been set up to help the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This weekend, she had planned to reopen as the city started easing stay-at-home orders. She spent over $4,000 on groceries and cleanup. Now that plan is gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just me,\" she says. \"It's all of Lake Street, all of Minneapolis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her daughter Saida nods. \"This is a city in pain,\" Saida says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the street a row of restaurants — all locally owned, black- and immigrant-owned — are all gone. But the library is OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the rubble, Saida finds the sign she made for her mother when the restaurant first opened. Against the black ash the wood plaque is pristine. It reads \"Mama Safia's Kitchen. Seasoned with Love.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because she always cooks with love,\" Saida says. She pulls a few more knickknacks that haven't burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of the artifacts here, I got them from Africa,\" she says. \"This one is from Somalia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She puts them into a tiny pile of what is salvageable. Outside is a tower of all that is lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her sister Bibi Abdullah walks in to help. She finds prayer rugs in the banquet room her mom would rent out for small wedding dinners and religious holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can still use these,\" she says. \"We just have to wash them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She searches for more things she can save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The truth is things like this happen when people feel powerless. Something has to change,\" Bibi says. Her voice catches. Her body seems to vibrate with a mix of anger and sadness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hopes that these demonstrations translate to voters at the polls come November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It came to this because we have people that do not care in positions of power and it should not be that way,\" Bibi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her sister start to clear the big debris together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Saida leads her mother, Safia, to the kitchen in the back so they can assess the damage. It's a tunnel of charred walls, ash and debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safia gets upset and pulls away, speaking to her daughter in Somali.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry,\" Saida responds in English as her mother walks out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's just saying, 'Why are you bringing me in here? I don't want to see this,' \" Saida says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saida gets quiet. She stands in the kitchen alone for a moment, staring at the charred walls. Then she joins her family outside where dozens of Minneapolis residents from across the city are working in groups to clear the rubble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With everything unfolding, the pandemic has slipped many people's minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I forgot. Have you seen me shake hands with people?\" Saida shakes her head. \"2020, we hear you, we see you. We went from one crisis to the next. What's next?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saida spends every night protesting, but also trying to protect other locally owned stores and restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At night, she cries herself to sleep. She understands the anger and desperation that are leading some to destroy buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm like emotionally torn,\" Saida says. She doesn't want destruction. \"But at the same time, people are crying for help. People are saying, 'Fix this.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hopes, from all of this pain, finally there will be change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

A longing for family. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137367\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-137367 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261-800x930.jpeg\" alt=\"usps boxes\" width=\"800\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261-800x930.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261-160x186.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261-768x892.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261-1020x1185.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/05/61057467141__35D09F23-E5E8-4F7B-A05D-22EA2AB61261.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boxes of mangoes ready to be shipped to friends and family. \u003ccite>(Sabita Roy)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I pulp and prep my own mangoes for the freezer, I think of my mom and how many plastic freezer bags she must have used to store her harvest for the year.

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.

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",

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).

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. For us to be tackling such a baseline need and how much it has expanded is really intense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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.

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.

If they only need 50% of the staff that they had before, that's okay.

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>",

According to that guidance, \"these personnel may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure [to the coronavirus] .... provided they remain asymptomatic.\" So if one worker tests positive for the virus, employers are not obligated to send that person's co-workers home as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='coronavirus, covid-19' label='The Latest on the Coronavirus']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few farmworkers, however, are taking matters into their own hands and refusing to work at farms where they don't feel safe. Resendiz says that she knows of one vegetable farm where \"a lot of people haven't returned to work because of the fear, because they haven't been given information.\" So many workers went missing that \"a job that should have taken a week is now delayed until further notice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to many people involved in the food industry, it is this risk — a shortage of workers — that poses COVID-19's most immediate threat to the country's supply of perishable foods. The concern focuses on labor-intensive operations like vegetable fields, meat-processing facilities, and shipping centers. Employers point out that much of this work, including work in the fields, demands a high level of skill, and experienced workers often can't be replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest fear is of a wave of sickness among workers. \u003ca href=\"https://bfarm.com/meet-our-team\">Cannon Michael\u003c/a>, a grower in California's Central Valley, wrote in an email to NPR that \"if it gets into the farm worker population, it will spread like wildfire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The virus is changing life in the fields, as farms try to keep workers safe. Workers in the strawberry fields at Sierra Farms \"are six feet apart in every single row,\" says Jacqueline Vazquez, the farm manager. \"They are washing their hands every two hours. Making sure that even during breaks and lunches, people are six feet apart. We have asked that people don't share food. That's been a big tradition in agriculture — 'I'll bring the burritos and you bring the drinks' — but for right now, we've asked that that not happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been only a few reports so far of agricultural workers getting sick with COVID-19. Sanderson Farms, a big poultry producer, \u003ca href=\"https://sandersonfarms.com/blog/sanderson-farms-confirms-employee-tested-positive-novel-coronavirus/\">announced\u003c/a> on March 23 that one worker in a processing plant in McComb, Miss., had tested positive for the virus. According to the company's statement, that person and six others who worked at the same small processing table had been \"sent home to self-quarantine with pay.\" Foster Farms, another poultry producer, took similar steps when two employees at a plant in Louisiana tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other food companies, when asked whether any employees had tested positive for the virus, declined to provide any information. A spokesperson for Tyson, the country's biggest poultry processor, wrote in an email that \"we're not able to provide specifics about any team member's health.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials are concerned that farm employees may stay on the job, despite illness, because they need the money. Up to now, farmworkers in California have been entitled to a small amount — three days — of paid sick leave each year. In many other states, workers have been entitled to no paid sick leave at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That just changed, at least temporarily. Congress has \u003ca href=\"https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-employee-paid-leave\">passed\u003c/a> a law — which remains in effect only until the end of 2020 — that requires every employer to provide at least 80 hours of paid sick leave. It also requires employers to provide partial pay to workers who are forced to stay home because their children's schools are closed due to coronavirus concerns. The government will reimburse employers for most of this expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law, on paper, represents a dramatic one-time boost in benefits for many farmworkers. Bt Alexis Guild, director of health policy for Farmworker Justice, an advocacy group, isn't yet confident that the new law will be strictly enforced on farms. \"Workers may be worried about losing their job if they were to take sick leave, even though there are retaliation protections,\" Guild says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lupe Sandoval, managing director of the \u003ca href=\"https://calflca.org/\">California Farm Labor Contractor Association\u003c/a>, says he's \"hopeful\" that farmworkers won't get sick, but admits that there's a \"pretty good likelihood\" that the virus eventually will show up among these workers. He also says that \"we don't want workers scared to go to work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resendiz, the farmworker in Watsonville, says that employers need to provide clear and accurate information. \"If there isn't enough information, then yeah, people won't be going to work because they're afraid,\" she says. \"If your employer gives the employee the tools and supplies needed to protect themselves, I think there'll be less fear and more people at work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are taking a risk to provide the food on your table,\" she says. \"We're going to protect ourselves as much as we can.
