<p>Thank you for checking out the Eat Local New York Podcast. <br> This is episode 82 with my guest Kyle Matropietro from Kasai Ramen.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wanted to have Kyle down to talk about his views on the shutdowns and orange zone restrictions. Coming from a local restaurant owner who's restaurant is currently in an orange zone, I knew Kyle would have a view that hasn't been very popular lately, to allow restaurants to open up for dine-in service.&nbsp;</p> <p>It should be said that I am fully aware and agree that COVID-19 is a serious virus and that it has caused the death of far too many around the world. <br> COVID-19 should be taken seriously, masks should be worn, and we should all maintain a safe distance from others.&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information on the statistics and information on how to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and how to stay healthy, please visit the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov</p> <p>If you would like to connect with Eat Local New York, please visit EatLocalNYState.com or find us on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Snachat.&nbsp;</p>
