Guy Fieri Speaks Out Against L.A. County’s Outdoor Dining Ban
KTLA ^ | Dec 11, 2020

Posted on 12/11/2020 1:23:32 PM PST by nickcarraway

The controversial ban on outdoor restaurant dining, part of an effort to break the back of California’s coronavirus surge, has clearly touched a nerve.

Lawsuits have been filed seeking to overturn it in Los Angeles County. Celebrity chef Guy Fieri urged an end to the ban, tweeting, “We gotta keep Flavortown open for biz!”

Restaurants have argued that public health officials have not provided evidence that outdoor dining spreads COVID-19 significantly and that they have taken precautions to make eating outdoors safe. They say they are being treated unfairly, especially considering that shopping mall remain open as well as many indoor businesses.

:: Restaurants have argued that public health officials have not provided evidence that outdoor dining spreads COVID-19 ::

And the sheeple dutifully put on their masks and stay away from restaurants, not really caring about evidence.

Considering that Hollywood movie production is considered a vital industry and therefore their food services can stay open for in person dining while a restaurant right across the street has to close, maybe restaurants can change into studios. Everyone has to bring in a camera and film something for their "big project" so they can eat.

I’d like to be sympathetic, but first I would have to know who you voted for.

No that’s not it. Guy is very pro food service. He’s raised a lot of money for out of work restaurant workers. Look it up.
