Excerpt from Atlanta Eats Magazine:
 No surprises here– our Creative Director Jackson has been raving about JenChan’s in our offices all year for their “flavors and sense of community.”

 with a savory pesto base and topped with mozzarella, 

feta, confit tomatoes, onions, shrooms, roasted garlic, 

fried Prosciutto, parmesan cheese, balsamic reduction,

and basil oil. Yeah, it’s pizza magic!

As COVID-19 Cases Soar, Atlanta Restaurant Owners Say It's Too Soon to Reopen

(Published by Beth McKibben on  

Eater Magazine Excerpt:  Jen and Emily Chan, the owners of JenChan’s Restaurant and Supper Club in Cabbagetown, say they won’t reopen on Monday. Emily Chan is still grieving the loss of her uncle who died from complications due to COVID-19 in a Georgia nursing home.

 

“We will not put our staff or the rest of our community at risk by reopening to the public Monday,” Chan tells Eater Atlanta. “I hope our entire restaurant community can unite against this. We will continue takeout and delivering, but we cannot risk a second wave when the first wave is still happening.”

 

Chan says the restaurant is struggling, even with their prepared meals delivery service helping to buoy the business. The couple applied for the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) on the very first day. Money ran out before their emergency loan could be approved.

 

“We desperately want to put our food on a plate instead of in a box, but it isn’t worth the cost,” says Chan. “This has been heartbreaking for us, and we have suffered economic and real personal loss. We won’t be a part of adding to that suffering.”
