A restaurant in suburban Long Grove is putting a unique twist on dining out during the pandemic by setting up RVs for private dining. Chatter Box, which is located at 330 Old McHenry Rd., created the new, innovative offering called "Camp Find-A-Way" to help people have a nice dining experience while helping them stay safe, according to a restaurant spokesman.

Love it!

Expensive tables ...

When one party leaves, aren't they leaving a small confined space full of aerosols containing COVID, plus fomites on all the surfaces?

Are the restaurants going to fumigate in between customers?

For those concerned about ventilation, the restaurant said each camper is equipped with HEPA filers and UV lights.

"Fresh air is brought in from the outside and heated," a post on its Facebook page read. "...Then air is pulled outside through the vent exhaust vent fan, which allows the air to be continuously circulated and turned over. We also clean and sanitize in between every seating and everyone entering must sanitize their hands first."

Do you think these measures are sufficient?

It wouldn't be sufficient for me. Too many nooks and crannies.

But then, I'm probably at the far end of the carefulness spectrum.

I wouldn’t be going either, but then we didn’t eat out very often befoe COVID Times.

I don’t have the right background to assess whether the measures they are taking are adequate.

The story caught my eye because these folks are thinking outside of the box and trying to reinvent their business. I know a number of people whose businesses are decimated and who are heading to the brink of financial disaster. It’s hard to watch. Looking for signs of hope, I guess.
