I was listening to Conservative morning AM radio in Chicago this morning and a guest talked about his group of resisters against the Illinois Governor's lock down of Illinois restaurants. His group is 'REBEL DINERS'. Each week, more and more diners join his group and have dinners at restaurants that are struggling with all of the restrictions. 👍 🇺🇸 He is encouraging people to form similar groups nationwide.
ABOUT REBEL DINERS
The Illinois Governor announced on October 20th, 2020 that a new round of stronger restrictions going into place that Friday. All six counties surrounding Chicago will not allow indoor dining.
Immediately a number of restaurants took to social media saying they can’t afford to do that and will defy the order.
That Friday Chuck, Matt and Tom met at a pizza place defying the order and discussed a way forward. “If these independent small businesses will defy the order for their livelihood, then we too must defy and support them”, and Rebel Diners was born. That weekend they began to reach out to their network and scheduled the 1st Rebel Diner lunch at one of the 1st restaurants to come out in defiance that following Tuesday.
12 diners joined together for a delicious meal and toasted the owner and his son. The owner was in tears thanking the Rebel Diners for their support. In addition, the diners left a tip for the server in excess of $400, and he too so humbly and graciously thanked each diner for their support.
The following week 21 Rebel Diners descended upon an establishment and positively impacted the owner and their staff.
The Rebel Diners have grown to 48 participants and continue weekly missions to help support the small business restaurateur.

Wonder if they’re wearing Confederate flag face masks.
We have been Rebel Diners in our corner of Illinois for months.
Ignoring Governor Creosote has become a way of life around here.

Gov. Pritzker: Fractured leg ‘had become very painful’
SNEED EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I guess this is a function of what everybody was telling me to do when I was running for office, ‘Go break a leg!’” the governor said. By Michael Sneed Updated Aug 29, 2019, 3:17pm CDT
CHICAGO (CBS) — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has sustained a hairline fracture to his left femur, his office confirmed Thursday.
The governor is now under a doctor’s orders to rest and recover for the next four to six weeks.
Same here. Have been safely dining out at least once weekly to support the local mom and pop places.
All I can say is be generous with your tips. The wait staff everywhere is desperately trying to make up for all the weeks lost. Give em a hand with a few more bucks in the tip. If we all do it, it’ll make a difference.
Yes 👍
