ST. LOUIS Crown Candy Kitchen was one of a few family-owned restaurants to get a much-needed boost thanks to streaming service Discovery+ and a fellow restaurant owner.
Todd Graves, the founder and CEO of Raising Canes, partnered with the streaming service for a show called Restaurant Recovery.

Andy is one of the five business owners we’ve been following since the start of the pandemic for our ongoing Small Business, Big Mission series, which continues next week. Before arriving, he said I should enter on the side of the building since he would be in the back, making chocolates.
