Biden touts $28.6B restaurant relief program, orders tacos

The restaurant, owned in part by Mexican immigrants, was a beneficiary of a pilot version of the restaurant relief program. It went from 55 employees to seven during the pandemic, though it was able to rehire some workers through the Paycheck Protection Program that predates the Biden administration. The White House said that 186,200 restaurants, bars and other eligible businesses had applied for the program over its first two days of accepting applications. The aid for eateries was part of the Biden administration's broader $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.
