  New restaurants don’t just open overnight. Most involve years of planning and months of consternation. Delays are inevitable. Permits take forever. So when the doors finally open it’s always a massive relief. But if you had told any prospective restaurateur in mid-2019 that a global pandemic was about to whammy the entire economy and make it next to impossible to open a new restaurant in 2020, most surely would have opted to take a gap year.
