Also featuring is Georgia-based chef-restaurateur Hugh Acheson who responds to his state governor’s decision to allow a cross-section of businesses, including restaurants, to re-open, and why his restaurants will remain closed to the public, while continuing to participate in José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen programme.
