The Fifty/50 Restaurant Group Feeds Chicago What's On Tap - Industry Talk

    • Food

Two of the four pillars of What’s On Tap are to 1) make sure that industry people know about all of the resources available to them,
and 2) to shine a light on the good things that this group is doing for one another. On this episode, we get to talk about both of those. We sit down with the co-founders of the Chicago-based Fifty/50 Restaurant Group, Scott Weiner and Greg Mohr,
who have converted two of their nineteen restaurants into take-home meal pickup sites for the restaurant industry and others in need. They’ve teamed up with several organizations including The Lee Initiative, Makers Mark, World Central Kitchen, and countless other individuals and companies to feed over a thousand people every day during this pandemic! With a staggering TWO-THIRDS of bar & restaurant professionals out of work right now, a free (and tasty) meal sure can help out. We also get the opportunity to talk to them about their meteoric growth from a single concept in 2008 to one of the most successful restaurant groups in Chicago today.
