MOZZA/MAKER'S MARK COLLABORATION BEGINS TONIGHT; MOZZA 2G0 EXPANDED MENU INCLUDES D.I.Y. PIZZA KIT

When Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Sunday night that all restaurants in Los Angeles would close, everyone on the Mozza corner agreed it was something that, sadly, had to be done.

“Sunday night i had to look my restaurant family in the eye and let them know i no longer had work for them. Mayor Garcetti had said we had to close. This didn’t come as a surprise as I knew it was something that was gonna happen, that had to happen, done.But, telling my staff was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career.”

A snippet of good news came to the Mozza Corner on Wednesday when it was announced that Maker’s Mark Kentucky Bourbon had donated $50,000 for Nancy to provide free dinners to laid off Los Angeles restaurant employees. Starting today, Thursday, those providing a recent pay stub can get two free dinners as well as needed supplies such as toilet paper, baby diapers and other items.

The menu will be meat or vegetarian lasagna with mashed potatoes and salad.
