Restaurant Revitalization Fund
The United States Small Business Administration (sba.gov) recently launched a restaurant revitalization fund that is geared to provide emergency assistance to restaurants and bars impacted by COVID-19. According to the SBA website, this program will provide funding to cover revenue lost for pandemic-related reasons. Registration for funds through this program has begun, and will last until the funds are exhausted. The SBA has also designated priority group status to businesses owned by women, veterans or socially disadvantaged individuals during the first 20 days of the application process. If you re in the local hospitality biz, and could use a bit of help, check out the application portal at restaurants.sba.gov.

One business creates gourmet salads for lunch.
Another delivers late-night meals to hungry college students.
And a third sells star-powered hamburgers and sandwiches.
All three of these new Salt Lake County businesses have one thing in common they operate out of a “virtual” kitchen with no storefront or seating. The only way their customers can get the food is to order online for pickup or delivery.
SLC Salads, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen and Late Night Ghost Kitchen at the University of Utah are the latest additions to the takeout trend that began in response to the pandemic but is now part of our regular dining routine.

I think it s safe to say that if you re reading this right now, you need a pastry. Something light, fluffy and stuffed with a luxurious cream filling or maybe something warm, cheesy and bedazzled with bacon.
Whatever pastry craving that little voice inside is telling you to indulge, chances are you ll find it inside
Comcom Kitchen (67 W. 1700 South, comcomkitchen.com). Owned and operated by Danny Cheng and Dan Homer, this communal commissary hence, comcom kitchen is the home base of
Streusel SLC (streuselslc.com) and
Mad Dough (maddoughslc.com), two local bakeries that have been making all kinds of waves on social media.
