Cisco and Falzon Hour

Broadcast in Politics

Call in to speak with the host: Cisco Acosta, Mark Falzon, and guest (845) 262-0988

Join us tonight, at 9:00 pm eastern time, with our guest,  Andrew Gruel, is an American chef and television personality, who appeared as a judge on Food Network's Food Truck Face Off and is the founder, CEO and executive chef of Slapfish, a seafood restaurant franchise based out of Huntington Beach, California. 

Restaurants in the U.S. are in an "economic free fall" amid the ongoing spike in coronavirus cases and the forced shutdowns, with almost 20% of dining establishments around the country having closed permanently since the start of the pandemic. This has left thousands of restaurant workers struggling to survive, many unable to pay even the most basic bills and put food on the table. In the absence of any substantial government relief and a gridlock in state unemployment agencies, it is incumbent on us within the community to help one another.

Topics for discussion: Calling Newsome an A-Hole, the lack of scientific evidence linking COVID-19 to outdoor dining, Segregating Vaccinated from Unvaccinated in Restaurants.
