Restaurants have had to adapt in the age of coronavirus or face going out of business. As restaurants across the country close with millions of jobs on the line, change is necessary for survival. But for Boise chef Kris Komori, adaptation has also become a means of community building.
During a time of economic uncertainty in the restaurant industry and while the country grapples with a racial justice reckoning, he is working to bring folks together over a shared love for good, local food.
Komori is a James Beard nominated chef and co-owner of KIN, a new restaurant in the capital city. He joins Idaho Matters live to talk about how he and his team have made adaptation a habit.
