The Food Tech Show: How One Seattle Chef is Surviving Through Innovation During the Pandemic

From his time as director of culinary research for Chicago’s Alinea to creating video game themed dinner nights at his own Seattle based restaurant “incubator” Addo, Chef Eric Rivera has long been known for his ability to innovate.

As it turns out, innovation becomes a required survival skill during a global pandemic like COVID-19, and ever since Seattle became one of the early breakout hotspots in the US, Rivera has been relying on the out of the box thinking to steer his business through a landscape shaped by coronavirus.

I caught up with Rivera this week to discuss the ways in which his business is adapting during the pandemic. We discuss the mandatory shut down of restaurants in Washington state, taking care of his employees during the crisis, launching his own delivery service and pop-ups for take out, offering remote cooking classes to people sheltering-in-place and more.

You can find Eric at his website and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ericriveracooks.

As always, you can listen to the Food Tech Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also download direct to your device or just click play below.
