DAP Health encourages community to support local restaurants

Dining Out for Life, an annual fundraising event for community-based organizations like
DAP Health, encourages community members to dine out at local restaurants, bars, bakeries and coffee shops to support community members impacted by or living with HIV.
Participating restaurants traditionally donate anywhere from 33% to 100% of the day s sales from diners served breakfast, lunch and dinner. This year, however, because of the struggles that many Palm Springs restaurants experienced this past year due to COVID-19, DAP Health is not asking locally-owned restaurants for financial support. Instead, it is asking the community to support the restaurants themselves by ordering take-out or dining in/out on April 29.

Palette: Where Culinary Creations Collide with Design and Art
By David Landis–
When it comes to the quality of food at San Francisco’s restaurants, we’re pretty much #1 in America (maybe the world). We claim such top-name chefs as Alice Waters, Dominique Crenn, Tyler Florence, Annie Somerville, Thomas Keller, and more. And our culinary stake in the ground here not to mention all the James Beard awards regularly rewards us with top honors.
But restaurant design? Not so much. Sure, we have the wow aquarium factor at Waterbar; the floating jellyfish chandeliers at the erstwhile Farallon; and (in the bar department), the wacky, tiki vision of Zombie Village.
Adapting to the challenges of Covid-19
In 2019, UK consumers spent £200bn on food and drink, 36% of which was spent in foodservice outlets and 64% in retail. However, according to the IDG Retail Analysis Eating In vs Dining Out 2021 report, the pandemic may change customer behaviour for the long term.
IGD’s report speculates four scenarios using economic recovery as a variable:
The first scenario: Consumers choose to eat at home even after the lockdown lifts. Safety and hygiene will have a higher value when choosing where to eat or drink.
The second scenario: The economy will take longer to recover and while demand for eating out will be high, it may not be affordable to many.
