Chefs Brigade New Orleans

Many New Orleans Chefs have banded together to feed first responders, people on the front of the Covid-19 front line and others for free. Here are a few videos outlining what/how they are doing it.

Chef Isaac Toups

In another part of town, Chef Isaac Toups (my daughter's boss)  is preparing and serving family meals to approximately 300 unemployed/furloughed restaurant industry employees a day at Toups'Meatery.  They started out just using what they had on hand at the beginning of Covid-19, but now have different companies donating things like produce, wine, beer and the like.
