West-Queen West fixture Jacob Wharton-Shukster of Chantecler infamy returns for a follow-up interview about life as a restaurateur throughout the pandemic.

 

Way back in March of this year we interviewed Jacob Wharton-Shukster about his valiant efforts to pivot given the then-nascent pandemic restrictions.

This week we return to West-Queen West for a follow-up interview and discover how Jacob and his businesses have been weathering the storm.

We touch upon such topics as the purchase/running costs of patio heaters, the dangers of parking lane patios, and the prospect of heading into a long, dark, cold Toronto winter.
