Chicago restaurants are calling on the federal government for more grants to keep them open amid COVID restrictions and slow January business.
"Restaurants that didn't get grants, these restaurants are on the brink of closing now," said Roger Romanelli, Chicago Restaurants Coalition and US Restaurants Coalution.
Monday, several local restauranteurs urged congress and President Joe Biden to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. They said restaurants have followed federal and local government COVID guidance to keep the public safe, and now the businesses that didn't get help in the first round may not make it.
"You have all of these employees, general managers, who don't work for tips," said Len DeFranco, Hawkeye's Bar & Grill."You have the service people who do work for tips, and these people are being asked to sacrifice not directly but indirectly." A spokesman for Illinois Senator Dick Durbin said he spoke in support of adding more funds, but Republicans on objected.
