An extinction event. That’s what New York restaurateur and “Top Chef” judge Tom Colicchio recently called the pandemic, warning bleakly that as many as 85 percent of the nation’s independent restaurants could close
permanently as a result of COVID-19. Imagine 85 percent of Sacramento’s restaurants disappearing for good. What if you could never again eat at your favorite Thai place? Or grab a beer and a slice at your neighborhood pizzeria? Or celebrate another milestone birthday at Mulvaney’s B&L or The Waterboy?
La Flor de Michoacan in Natomas is one of hundreds of local restaurants fighting to stay afloat during the pandemic. Serving Mexican and Salvadoran fare, La Flor is part of the gloriously diverse tapestry that makes Sacramento unique. To lose it would be a tragedy: for its owners, its employees, its customers, its community.
