Alberta’s restaurant industry has endured three rounds of shutdowns over the past year, each prompted by increasingly powerful waves of COVID-19. The latest restrictions started last week, when a sharp rise in infections prompted the provincial government to shut down indoor dining yet again.
Karen Kho, co-owner of Calgary’s Empire Provisions, which specializes in packaged foods and cured meats, and its fast-casual sister eatery Lil’ Empire, says it’s been a tumultuous year that has forced the industry to band together.
