Whether or not you feel it's right that restaurants and other establishments should be open during the pandemic, the story of bars and drinking establishments in 2020 is feeling like a second-class citizen in comparison. A cocktail kit from Cantina Barba. The Beverage Pivot There's that word again: pivot. Covid-19 has forced people to rethink strategies across all industries, and the beverage community is no exception.  Plus, some local wineries and sommeliers dove head-first into Zoom to teach folks about reds, whites, and rosés.

How Covid-19 changed everything. The table-side Turner’s wedge salad. I first read a story about Covid-19 in January and made a casual observation to my wife, something along the lines of "Hmmm, this thing seems serious."  In February a friend and I were embarking on a four-restaurant food crawl and talking about the fate of Asian-American-operated restaurants across Houston.
