New highs across the board. Reopening doesn’t look like a good idea right now, does it?

We ordered outside pickup from Uchi tonight for our anniversary (26th!), No way we were going into the store, even for a special day at a place we have been weekly patrons for years that is now partially opened.

She Who Must Be Obeyed ran into Naomi, a tattooed, punk line chef with a ferret named Finn at the pickup. She’s dear to us, as are many of the employees at the shop. She’s squeaking by, but only just. I don’t know when we will be comfortable giving them our custom inside the store. Naomi understood.

But she said the umbrella group for the restaurants under their control are doing their best to protect their employees, economically and health-wise. I respect that and look forward to a safe return to business.
