Jarrett Stieber opened his restaurant Little Bear in Atlanta on February 26, 2020, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Initially hesitant about the demanding nature of the restaurant business, he aimed to create a sustainable establishment for himself and his staff. Despite being forced to pivot to takeout service for 18 months, Little Bear has thrived, expanding its offerings and launching a digital cookbook. Stieber reflects on realizing his vision of an accessible, engaging restaurant environment after navigating significant challenges in the industry during these years.
"What I originally envisioned is the restaurant that exists now; it’s definitely been nice to see that dream become a reality."
"Surviving one disaster, even one as unprecedented as COVID, gives you insight into how to survive the next."
