DINING OUT DURING THE PANDEMIC

2020-08-22 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 19 min

A weekend vlog / eating broadcast documenting an indoor restaurant dinner during the COVID-19 pandemic. The speaker and Pete make a reservation at a reduced-capacity steakhouse, follow mask and table rules, and order a three-course meal. The speaker shows appetizers (warm baked brie crostini with pesto and red pepper jelly), a seafood entrée (king crab, jumbo shrimp, lobster, asiago rice) while Pete has sirloin and fries, and finishes with crème brûlée while Pete has ice cream with cherry sauce. The video also includes getting ready and removing makeup at home, a short porch segment with pets and bugs, brief product mentions (Amazon makeup remover pads, Starbucks mango dragon fruit refresher), and post-dinner commentary about safety and dining frequency during the pandemic.
