029 Carryout in COVID: Fish Scale with Brandon Williams

Introduction

Today, I want to introduce you to Brandon, who exudes hospitality, and his DC restaurant FishScale, which has 95 reviews and 5 stars on google. It’s not only Brandon, whose hard work is threatened by this crisis, but that of his entire family, who have sacrificed collectively to turn a concept and a conviction into a brick-and-mortar reality. If you're feeling a little - or more than a little - overwhelmed by this crisis, I invite you to listen to Brandon. Even as his dream and livelihood are threatened, he found a way to make me smile, relax, and find a little faith. No wonder his customers love him!

About the Carryout in COVID Series

Of all the conflicting information we’re receiving these days, I’m having the most difficulty reconciling the call to support small, local businesses with the command to stay home as much as possible. Can I support small restaurants without contributing to the spread of the virus? I felt the best way to answer this question was to hear the stories of businesses in crisis and ask THEM my questions. A variety of guests including owners, farmers, and journalists, are participating in this series, so make sure you check back to get a new perspective each day.
