Sorry, We're Closed
In a film by Chef Elizabeth Falkner and Pete Ferriero, it’s the summer of 2020, when restaurants are doubly hit hard by Covid-19 and the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, Chef Elizabeth Falkner sets out across the country to check in with her renowned chef and restaurateur colleagues to find out how they are coping with the impossible task of keeping their doors open. The film explores how chefs pivoted, trying to stay afloat through new take-out menus and pop-up grocery stores. Innovations abounded and yet the cracks in the system loomed large. What if all of our 'go-to' places were gone? What if we had to tell you, "Sorry, We're Closed?"
