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.

Government never closed your doors, you just need to follow wearing mask.

I guarantee you nobody from CPD will write you a ticket if you open your business and don’t card

Yep. I just go to Dupage or Will Co when I want to be treated like a human. Good job chicagosmayor hope you can sleep at night knowing you’re ruining people’s dreams of being a business owner.

chicagosmayor JBPritzker Blame these Stooges. Tell Lori too go into her 'Stolen from Chicago' fund we all know she's cashing out before she gets booted out.

No!

Stupid. Restaurants are full.

No. You don’t like it? Demand Lori rescind the useless COVID vax mandate. You all allowed this to happen to yourselves by not pushing back when you should have.

Try not charging so much 🤡🤡

Why don’t you get rid of the bullshit vax passports and masking first.

I guess the citizen dividing vax card requirement isn’t quite working so well for the woke restaurant owners? This city is run by and continually supported by absolute lunatics.

Ask Lori.

Screw the woke Chicago restaurants, they had a chance to push back and chose to destroy lives and become sheep living on the public dole.

Or they can call the Mayor’s office and beg to have mandates lifted or move the business to the suburbs.

Or they can just lift the ridiculous restrictions. And let people live their lives.
