The pandemic hasn’t been easy on any of us, but you could argue that it’s been tougher on restaurants than almost any other industry.

In this episode of Courageous Conversations, Fran sits down with Stephanie Webster, Editor-in-Chief and Founder of CTBites, an online community focused on the food scene in Connecticut.

Listen to learn about how, during the state-wide pandemic shutdown, CTBites found a new way to support local restaurants while also helping to feed our exhausted healthcare workers. Stephanie also shares her thoughts on which trends born out of necessity – think outdoor dining and takeout cocktails – will continue post-pandemic. You’ll also find out which Connecticut restaurants are currently Stephanie’s favorites and learn one small thing we can all do to help Connecticut’s restaurants recover.
