Track and Food 42: Special Covid-19 Episode With James Iranzad Of Gooseneck Hospitality On Vancouver's Restaurant Community And How We Are Coping

Brought to you by Scout Magazine. 

In light of our current social and economic circumstances due to the Covid-19 virus, we wanted to reach out to our close friends in the community and chat with them on how they are dealing with this pandemic. 

First up today is our loyal friend James Iranzad of Gooseneck Hospitality. If you don't know James, you probably know of his restaurants. Think Wildebeest, Bufala (Kerrisdale and Edgemont), Lucky Taco and Bells & Whistles. 

With his knowledge and intimate proximity to the restaurant industry as a restaurateur, his insights were ones we wanted to hear from. We waxed on our own personal experiences so far, government response, community engagement, what we should do next and much much more. 

Have a listen as we hope, if anything, this episode may give you some answers, a reprieve from any anxiety you may be feeling or just something to listen to.  

Below are some links to a few of the things/topics we discuss. 

Stay healthy everyone. We'll be back with more soon.
