Felipe Ortega, a 64-year-old employee at Gladstones for 38 years, is now jobless due to the recent Palisades fire, fearing for his family's financial future.
Alycia Harshfield, president of the California Restaurant Foundation, emphasizes the importance of restaurant workers: "These are the people who make restaurants hum. They are the heart of restaurants."
With Gladstones shut down and a rising bill burden, Ortega faces uncertainty as he seeks support from fundraisers like GoFundMe to cover his family's expenses.
Gladstones, a restaurant with a rich history, is now seeking to recover after the fire as its community rallies around employees impacted by the disaster.
