CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A grassroots effort from chefs in Charlotte is calling for increased wages across the restaurant industry.
This effort by Sam Hart, Sam Diminich, Rob Clement and Chris Coleman comes as the industry is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic from lost wages and restrictions to workers leaving the industry.
“A lot of people that left the industry have found other opportunities or career options that provide them with security that food and beverage haven’t in the past,” said Chef Sam Diminich with Your Farms Your Table.
