Gathering at restaurants has been a great way to celebrate and connect with family and friends since before Gordon Ramsay learned how to hold a knife. But with the spread of COVID-19 and the adoption of social distancing, restaurants across the world have shifted to take out only or shut down completely to protect the health and safety of workers and customers. It's been inspiring to see service industry workers help their community and adjust to these challenging times.
