Here’s How it Went Down Last Winter… Three cooks had tested positive for Covid 19, and executing the holiday menu orders was left to me and a part-time cook, after the proper cleansing and testing, of course. My panic was profound.“I can’t get sick, I can’t get anyone else sick, I’m worried about those who are already sick, and I have to complete these 40 orders not just safely but deliciously, too.”

Closing for Hibernation from 12/23 to 1/26 . Yes, it is true. I find myself forced to close my little Taberna because the expense of opening each day far exceeds the revenue. Since the cold weather set in, our sales have dwindled to a tiny trickle and it is simply not sustainable.
