Down the street at Bourbons Bistro, executive chef Jereme McFarland said he was excited to see customers again. McFarland told WAVE 3 News he was expecting almost 60 guests Friday, and the restaurant was taking various precautions to stay safe including hand sanitizer for all guests. “We’re taking temperatures of staff when they enter the building. Staff are all wearing masks and gloves, and in the dining room we will have two people dedicated basically to cleaning and sanitizing all night,” he said. When the dining room was closed, McFarland said sales were down 90 percent and limited to takeout orders only. Now, Bourbon’s Bistro is using indoor and outdoor seating, as well as overflow seating above the restaurant to accommodate as many diners as possible. McFarland also expanded the restaurant’s menu in hopes of more busy nights to come.
