It’s been weeks since the George Floyd protests, and Erick Williams wants to keep America’s focus on racial inequality. The Chicago chef and owner of Virtue Restaurant in Hyde Park has reached across the country with a gesture involving another high profile Black chef. Over the weekend, Williams outfitted the staff at Virtue with T-shirts from JuneBaby in Seattle and posed for a photo, hoping to show solidarity from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest. The restaurant was Eater’s 2017 restaurant of the year, helmed by Edouardo Jordan.
It’s a token of respect as Williams has kept an eye on how Seattle has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. The disease has ravaged the city. Chicago’s restaurants are able to serve customers indoors at 25-percent capacity. Seattle’s dining rooms are at 50-percent capacity, and JuneBaby is doing takeout orders.
