What happens when Coronavirus closes a restaurant (April 6, 2020)

Amon was working as a cook at Russo's New York Pizzaria when the mayor's order came down on March 17th that restaurants could be take-out/curbside only.  Russo's couldn't survive financially.  The owner asked Amon to help him clean out the kitchen.  As much food as possible was donated to a food bank, but trash cans full of food were thrown out.  Amon brought over lasagna, fresh mozzarella, and a 12-piece chocolate cake. He took home 40 pounds of pepperoni and crumbled hamburger meat, clams, cheese, calimari.  He could have taken home a lot more but didn't have any more room in his freezer. 

Amon brought over an unopened decadent chocolate cake that was going to be thrown out along with many, many trash cans full of perfectly good food.  Papa Tom took the rest of the cake to work on Tuesday, thank goodness.  In other good news:  Since Russo's closed, Amon has been hired by Austin's Pizza as a cook/delivery driver and to work the meat counter at Sprout's.  Both jobs should be safe until everything opens up again.
