Six months into the pandemic in the U.S., many restaurants have closed while others have stayed afloat, or even thrived. Joah and Cate talked with Austin Localeur and longtime restaurant owner Niraj Mehdiratta about what it'll take for the service industry to survive and the struggle of being business-savvy in a creative pursuit (plus, the surprisingly not-so-hard struggle of maintaining an overseas long-distance relationship in 2020).
