Tell Me Something Good: 2 Popular Restaurant Chains Step Up To Help During Coronavirus Pandemic

Two restaurant chains that you’ve most likely been to before have stepped up big to help out their employees and healthcare workers during the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic.

First is the the founder of Texas Roadhouse restaurants (those rolls! so good) is donating his entire $800,000 salary to his workers. Plus he’s giving another $5 million to an emergency fund which they will be able to access. Pretty amazing way to take care of the people who work for his company considering the state of employment in the country right now.

Next is the Hard Rock Café. Such a fun place. You’ve probably been to the one at Foxwoods here in CT or maybe when you were on vacation, literally anywhere. There are so many! Anyway, Hard Rock is giving free burgers to all healthcare workers for the entire month of July. With the location in CT at Foxwoods closed at the moment, I believe the closest one to here would be in Times Square.

Tell Me Something Good: There Will Be Mint Juleps And Horses

Even though Coronavirus is still very much a problem around the country little by little it does feel like we are getting a tiny bit closer to normal as far as sporting events go.

The Travelers Championship is happening this weekend here in Connecticut and now Churchill Downs has announced they WILL allow fans to attend this year’s Kentucky Derby. The Derby has been rescheduled for September 5th, during Labor Day weekend. They are saying there will be fewer fans than usual allowed in and everyone will be encouraged to wear masks. I would imagine there will be social distancing guidelines in place too. Even if you’re watching from home at least we all get to put on fancy outfits and watch the horses while sipping a mint julep right?!
