Like many other restaurants throughout the United States, Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan will soon open again for indoor dining after a year of being closed during the pandemic. But diners there will see a very different menu: Chef Daniel Humm will not be serving meat, fish or virtually any other animal products.
In a note on his restaurant s website, Humm said that the past year when his acclaimed fine-dining establishment closed and he and his team focused on feeding the hungry through a partnership with a nonprofit group had changed his perspective. We have always operated with sensitivity to the impact we have on our surroundings, but it was becoming ever clearer that the current food system is simply not sustainable, in so many ways, he wrote.

Restaurant operators said they are hopeful that the American Rescue Plan signed into law by President Biden last week will help prevent any more restaurants from closing, after the COVID-19 pandemic has wiped out thousands of locations across the country.
The new program includes a $28.6 billion Restaurant Relief Fund up to $10 million per restaurant and can be used to cover a wide range of pandemic-related costs. The grants will be distributed through the Small Business Administration, and include a $5 billion carveout specifically targeting small restaurants with less than $500,000 in revenues in 2019. The grants also prioritize businesses owned and controlled by women, veterans, and others considered socially and economically disadvantaged.

It took a year for an upstart coalition of star-studded restaurateurs and chefs joined with the lobbying fire-power of the National Restaurant Association to secure a $28.6 billion grant program for their ailing industry.
Fresh from their success in garnering relief in the $1.9 trillion pandemic package (Public Law 117-2), restaurant advocates are gearing up to fight for more cash. They plan to leverage the same tactics learned in 2020 to help them navigate some of the same hurdles on Capitol Hill, where earlier efforts to help restaurants faltered repeatedly.
