While many people can’t wait to have a meal with friends again at their favourite restaurant, some are uneasy about it. Even when COVID-19 restrictions allow it, a lot of Winnipeggers will stick with takeout and delivery for a while. A new Angus Reid survey says four in 10 Manitobans plan to avoid in-person dining. The Food Professor, Sylvan Charlebois, a prof and Dalhousie University, says the fear factor won’t disappear anytime soon. He believes it’s up to the provinces to restore confidence in restaurant safety and much of it will depend on how the vaccine rollout goes. I understand the hesitancy but if you do delay your return to restaurants, please try to make up for it by calling in your orders and picking them up.
