Hannah Green owns Etta Dining in Brunswick East, which borders locked-down Brunswick West. She believes in a warm welcome and the value of true hospitality. Etta reopened on June 18 in expectation of dining restrictions easing on June 22. Restrictions didn't ease, cases increased and her neighbours - many of them her beloved customers - are now locked down again. We talk about change, stress, safety, community, hope - and chickpeas.
This week on Dirty Linen, we're focusing on Melbourne's new partial lockdown and how it's affecting restaurants and workers within and around the hotspot postcodes. With a spike in COVID cases, the shutdown didn't exactly come as a surprise but it's destabilising, disappointing and draining nevertheless. How are people coping? What strategies and plans can help?
