It would be very interesting to see a followup report from Nick on what happened with COVID. Did they refund those customers who pre-paid for dinners that couldn't happen? Were they left holding the bag for the dry-aged ribeye that they then couldn't sell? I would love to hear the story.

I don't have the full story on what happened to the tickets and the dry aged beef, but on several podcasts, Kokonas talked about how they pivoted hard to takeout and actually did some of their best sales during COVID than at any other time.

COVID is weird in that it doesn't have a uniform effect on everyone.
