Firefighters, nurses, and the National Guard save our asses; it\u2019s the job for which they\u2019ve been trained. Another industry has been saving lives lately, too: restaurants.The impact of Harvey and Irma (and perhaps Jos\u00e9 and Maria?) may vary in scale, but each storm presents oh-shit challenges in the face of catastrophe. Call them the four Rs: report, rescue, recover, rebuild. Restaurants are uniquely primed for these, because they manage smaller crises on the daily: Two hundred covers on the books but down a man in the kitchen? No problem. HVAC on the fritz during Sunday brunch? We\u2019ll fix it. For independents and chains alike, the show goes on seven days a week&mdash;and double on the weekends.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nResponse time has accelerated since the slow-drip aid of Katrina, but it still takes three days or more before disaster relief and NGOs are fully mobilized. During that time, restaurants have figured out what to do. \u201cI\u2019m not surprised by how swiftly our restaurant community has moved to help people,\" Justin Yu, the 2016 James Beard winner for Best Chef: Southwest, told me in the days following Hurricane Harvey. \u201cThey\u2019re filled with generous people in a unique position to say, \u2018I gotchoo.'\" Jennifer and Bryan Caswell couldn\u2019t open their storm-ravaged flagship Reef for customers after Harvey, but it made a perfect HQ for hurricane operations and food triage for first responders. Someone donated a refrigerated truck. Produce companies all over town gave thousands of pounds of food. Avi Katz supplied coffee and hurricane gumbo. There were cooked and uncooked meats, even prize-winning steers donated from the Houston Livestock Show. And when superstar chef Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s landed in Houston, he went straight to Reef, where Caswell\u2019s team was feeding 10,000 people a day while floodwaters were still rising. \u201cEverything that's in the restaurant,\u201d Jennifer said, \u201clet\u2019s cook it and send it out.\u201d\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nAfter Harvey made landfall, husband/wife team Richard and Carrie Jean Knight, known for their Breaking Bread pop-ups, launched a Facebook group, Houston Service Industry for Harvey Relief. \u201cThis is a forum for those who want to help or need help in the Houston area,\" read the description. \"Please use this space to post updates, helpful info, wants, haves etc. Let's get people the help they need together as a community.\u201d\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nImmediately, help started rolling in (excerpts shared below as posted, frantic punctuation and all):6:40 PM \u201cWe at Krisp are capable of making up to 1000 chicken sandwiches for tomorrow if anyone knows where is in need.\u201d \u2013 Ben McPherson6:45 PM \u201cNam Eatery on 20th St by Prestigious Nails is giving away FREE pho right now. If you know someone who needs food immediately, please send them there.\u201d \u2013 Carrie Knight7:55 PM \u201cI'm in southwest/stafford/sugar land area. I have hands & knives ready to help as soon as I can safely leave my neighborhood. Tell me where to go & I'll be there as soon as I can.\u201d \u2013 Rea Nicole Perez8:59 PM \u201cWes at Pappa Charlies has five or six racks of ribs and briskets.\u201d \u2013 Phaedra CookOn the second day of impromptu efforts, the Greater Houston Restaurant Association (GHRA) circulated Google docs, organizing and consolidating relief efforts to shareable spread sheets with two tabs: Help Needed, Support Offered. The chaos of find-food-share-food quickly evolved into a full-tilt engine of giving.That evening, ihavefoodineedfood.com, an online food and donation request form, was launched by event-planner Jonathan Beitler and others. It was radical not just because it ended up serving over 250,000 meals in a week, but because it is scalable and replicable in other cities. \u201cWe were overlapping our efforts,\u201d said Beitler. \u201cWe had never done this as an industry.\u201d Now, with this site as a working playbook, thousands of food service providers can operate as a single, efficient entity with national import but uber-local reach.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nDays later, as Irma rolled in, Alba Huerta, owner of Julep, named one of Esquire\u2019s Best Bars in America, took GHRA\u2019s Google docs and Beitler\u2019s site and shared them with friends in Puerto Rico and Florida, all while shepherding supplies back and forth to Beaumont, Port Arthur, and other devastated neighborhoods with heavy concentrations of low-income, immigrant, and marginalized citizens. \u201cIn the middle of all this, they\u2019re being wounded by DACA,\u201d she said. Hugo Ortega, the 2017 James Beard winner for Best Chef: Southwest, and his brother Ruben, gave her food all week to help. \u201cWe\u2019re independents, but during Harvey relief, we\u2019re all one restaurant. As we\u2019re loading trucks, there\u2019s a sadness among Latinos who've devoted decades of their lives, doing great things for the communities and employing scores of employees,\" she said. Huerta was born in Mexico, but her family became citizens as part of the 1986 amnesty act under Reagan.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nOn September 7, with Irma bearing down, another Facebook group, Florida Food Service Workers Hurricane Relief, was formed by husband/wife restaurateur team Greg and Michelle Baker out of Tampa. The next day, Carrie Jean Knight posted a group-sourced, bilingual, fully annotated, 3,500-word document called \u201cDisaster Plan For Restaurant Communities, inspired by the Knights' Facebook group in Houston. \"Ok, Florida. This is what our team from I Have Food I Need Food at Midtown Kitchen Collective has learned the past few weeks,\" she wrote. \"We want to help you guys get set up so that on Day 0 you are where we were on Day 3. Please let us know if you have any questions or needs from us. Texas loves you, guys.\u201d\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve been speed-balling Xanax and espresso,\u201d said Greg Baker by garbled cell phone as power flickered off and on. \u201cWorking with Houston, they gave us their blueprint so that we weren\u2019t starting from scratch. It\u2019s remarkable. An instructional plan constructed on the fly.\u201d Yes, Tampa dodged a bullet (this time), but even if this storm didn\u2019t damage buildings, doors were shut for days on end.\u201cI am the luckiest man in the world,\" said Chef Ferrell Alvarez of Tampa's Rooster and the Till. \"If everyone treated each other the way they did during the hurricane, the world would be a beautiful place.\u201d His restaurant suffered no damage, but much of his staff evacuated to Alabama and Georgia. By September 12, he was ready to reopen for dinner. \u201cThe phone is ringing for , and we need every dollar we can get,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m telling people, whether it\u2019s mine or someone else\u2019s, get your ass to a restaurant.\u201dAs for Houston, the work is just beginning. \"Despite its size, we're a grass-roots community,\" said Yu. \"Life will not be normal for a while, and a lot of people are willing to take it on the chin to help somebody else out, so call the bars and restaurants that you love. Show up with beer, gloves, and a hammer.\u201d","wordCount":1190}</script>

			<p class="body-dropcap">Mother Nature rains down, and human beings rise up. Firefighters, nurses, and the National Guard save our asses; it’s the job for which they’ve been trained. Another industry has been saving lives lately, too: restaurants.<br></p><p class="body-text">The impact of Harvey and Irma (and perhaps José and Maria?) may vary in scale, but each storm presents <em>oh-shit</em> challenges in the face of catastrophe. Call them the four Rs: report, rescue, recover, rebuild. Restaurants are uniquely primed for these, because they manage smaller crises on the daily: Two hundred covers on the books but down a man in the kitchen? No problem. HVAC on the fritz during Sunday brunch? We’ll fix it. For independents and chains alike, the show goes on seven days a week—and double on the weekends.</p><div class="breaker-ad article-breaker-ad standard-article-breaker-ad mobile-breaker-ad">

<p class="body-text">Response time has accelerated since the slow-drip aid of Katrina, but it still takes three days or more before disaster relief and NGOs are fully mobilized. During that time, restaurants have figured out what to do. “I’m not surprised by how swiftly our restaurant community has moved to help people," Justin Yu, the 2016 James Beard winner for Best Chef: Southwest, told me in the days following Hurricane Harvey. “They’re filled with generous people in a unique position to say, ‘I gotchoo.'" </p><div class="embed embed-image embed-image-center embed-image-medium">

Someone donated a refrigerated truck. Produce companies all over town gave thousands of pounds of food. <a class="body-link" href="https://www.katzcoffee.com">Avi Katz</a> supplied coffee and hurricane gumbo. There were cooked and uncooked meats, even prize-winning steers donated from the Houston Livestock Show.

It was radical not just because it ended up serving over 250,000 meals in a week, but because it is scalable and replicable in other cities. “We were overlapping our efforts,” said Beitler. “We had never done this as an industry.” Now, with this site as a working playbook, thousands of food service providers can operate as a single, efficient entity with national import but uber-local reach.</p><div class="embed embed-image embed-image-center embed-image-medium">

<p class="body-text">“I’ve been speed-balling Xanax and espresso,” said Greg Baker by garbled cell phone as power flickered off and on. “Working with Houston, they gave us their blueprint so that we weren’t starting from scratch. It’s remarkable. An instructional plan constructed on the fly.” Yes, Tampa dodged a bullet (this time), but even if this storm didn’t damage buildings, doors were shut for days on end.<br></p><div class="embed embed-image embed-image-center embed-image-medium">

<p class="body-text">“I am the luckiest man in the world," said <a class="body-link" href="http://www.roosterandthetill.com/">Chef Ferrell Alvarez</a> of Tampa's Rooster and the Till. "If everyone treated each other the way they did during the hurricane, the world would be a beautiful place.” His restaurant suffered no damage, but much of his staff evacuated to Alabama and Georgia. By September 12, he was ready to reopen for dinner. “The phone is ringing for [reservations], and we need every dollar we can get,” he said. “I’m telling people, whether it’s mine or someone else’s, get your ass to a restaurant.”</p><p class="body-text">As for Houston, the work is just beginning. "Despite its size, we're a grass-roots community," said Yu. "Life will not be normal for a while, and a lot of people are willing to take it on the chin to help somebody else out, so call the bars and restaurants that you love. Show up with beer, gloves, and a hammer.”</p>
