Michael Solomonov, Steve Cook and the team behind CookNSolo 16 restaurants are still cooking during the pandemic

From the James Beard-winning Zahav to new spot Laser Wolf, the top chef is back serving up great food for takeout during the pandemic.

Michael Solomonov and his partner Steve Cook have created a restaurant power called CookNSolo with 16 eateries, including the James Beard winner for the best restaurant in the country, Zahav.

They had to close all 16 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with one, Laser Wolf, having just opened six weeks before the closures.

Michael and his team spent the first couple of weeks focused on cooking for those in need and now they have started to reopen for takeout and delivery.

It's given him a chance to bring back some of his employees but the uncertain future of the restaurant industry is making the next steps very challenging.
