Launching a new business seems illogical if not downright insane in the time of coronavirus — but these restaurants are doing just that.

pop-up restaurant he was slated to run fell through last month, Royce Burke found himself with a large unused kitchen space in West Hollywood. With help from Maude sommelier Andrey Tolmachyov, Burke decided to relaunch his delivery lasagna concept, Secret Lasagna, which originally opened in Chinatown in 2017.

“I’m an illogical person,” Burke said, comparing his business model to running into a burning building while everyone else was running out. “This thing isn’t going to be over for a long time and we have to figure out how to survive.”Secret Lasagna is offering a few varieties of lasagna, salads and sides for delivery and pickup, plus a collection of pantry goods, including some items by local chefs.

Burke said his kitchen is taking precautions with physical distancing and protective gear. He’s even making food deliveries himself — last night he dropped off lasagna to a customer in Studio City. “I designed Secret Lasagna for takeout and delivery three years ago and I had no idea it could be a springboard for what we’re doing now,” Burke said. “People still have to eat, and by doing delivery we’re helping them stay home.”

Good for them. They're not buying this crap either.

The mayor will be after them in no time. Police will show up and power shut off and rightly so. What is wrong with these people?

Take out only I hope!
