Ruffo Ibarra Arellano is a pedigreed chef. With his resume, he could be working at some of the fanciest Michelin-star restaurants in the world. But he chose to be here, running a restaurant in Tijuana instead. Because Ruffo loves his roots. And he wants his food to be infused with them. Obviously, the coronavirus pandemic is deeply impacting Ruffo’s work and his restaurant. It’s impacting all of us. But restaurants are being hit particularly hard. Ruffo’s team had just finished remodeling the restaurant a couple of weeks before the quarantine became the new normal. Even as many restaurants layoff a lot of their staff, though, Ruffo and his partners have assured their team that they have their backs. They’re committed to their safety and well being, even if that means taking a big financial hit.

This is the first of a new pop-up podcast series dropping in the San Diego News Matters feed on Sundays. We're calling it "The Pandemic Pivot," and it's about people who are doing creative and innovative things to keep the community connected through COVID-19 isolation. Our goal is to make you, me and everyone who listens feel just a little less alone, or at least alone together. We want this podcast series to be some of the virtual glue that’s currently keeping our community connected. The plan is to drop new episodes on Sundays. The first episode features food critic Troy Johnson Because when restaurants across the city started closing down, Troy’s inbox started filling up. Over the years, he’s amassed a decent following of foodies. So, he was someone a lot of local restaurant folks thought of when the coronavirus pandemic hit. They saw Troy as a human life raft of sorts. A way to help them reach customers who might be able to keep their businesses afloat through the pandemic. So, they shot Troy email after email, text after text, begging for help. And so, after binging "Tiger King" just like you, me and millions others did as we adjusted to our new lives in isolation, Troy decided to do something to help.
