Originally, we had planned on discussing with Greg the various updates on the re-opening of our beloved hospitality and foodservice industry – both here in the U.S. and abroad. However, events of the past few days brought this past weekend’s protests across America to the top of our discussion pile. And, while we realize that there are other parts of the world who remain focused on their restaurants and bars re-opening, we do address a number of the challenges and issues that operators will be facing as they begin their re-opening process. But, certainly, you cannot be speaking about the hospitality industry in America without addressing the impact of the protests that have taken place and continue as we speak. In this week’s episode, we take on both of these challenging and difficult issues. #TabletopMatters Subscribe here: iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/seat-yourself/id1440853976?mt=2 Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/seat-yourself Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/m/Irdxqugvj64e3omfefbwgbhajoe?t=Seat_Yourself Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/1CMEk3rELOap74ui3BfXso?si=nnhoZRrqRoCtqlWxKzTd4g TuneIn - https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Dave-Turners-SEAT-YOURSELF-Podcast-p1320455/ I Heart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-seat-yourself-30927514/  In this week’s episode of Seat Yourself and our mini-series On The Frontlines, we circle back around to catch up with David Otto from Tovari to get an update on the Dutch hospitality market and where it stands as it begins to open up.
