Even under the best of circumstances, a restaurant is a hard business to run successfully. It’s full of hot kitchens and long hours. If you’re a fan of Gordon Ramsay, you know it’s not as easy as it looks. Add a worldwide pandemic, and even restaurants that were packing the house pre-covid are shutting down left and right. 

It stinks.

Kidding Around was built around supporting local families and businesses, and it’s more important to do so now than ever. We will highlight a locally owned restaurant every week, with all of the info you need to help support these local dining establishments. In a way, you feel safest for your family: outdoor dining, curbside pick-up, or gift cards to save for later. 

We will have all the details on weekly social media posts, with the links posted above the featured restaurant’s photos. A new location highlight will be posted weekly on our social media accounts in Greenville and Spartanburg. Check back regularly for updates!
