Amid the pandemic, restaurants have seen devastating loss. While some have been able to stay afloat through curbside pickup and delivery, others have been forced to shut down. On a new show called
Restaurant Recovery, streaming now on Discovery Plus, Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves embarks on a cross-country mission to help save family-owned restaurants that have suffered during the pandemic.
Each episode of
Restaurant Recovery focuses on a different restaurant in a different city. Graves invests $100,000 per restaurant and offers them creative ideas and helps them with renovations. One of these restaurants is Dallas’ Smokey John’s Bar-B-Que and Home Cooking, owned by brothers Juan and Brent Reaves.
