The Slow Work

Pandemic Patience as Restaurant Owners

Creative solutions from those who were forced to adapt in order to survive.

One of the areas hardest-hit by COVID was the restaurant industry. This episode features a conversation with Mark Canlis, whose family restaurant has been a longtime favorite in Seattle. In order to survive, Canlis tried many different creative solutions over the last year. Mark and his wife, Anne Marie, joined Sandra to talk about patience—in their work as restaurant owners, in parenthood, in hospitality, and in leaning toward the good in times of great uncertainty.

Steadfast is a production of Sandra McCracken in partnership with Christianity Today. Produced by Sandra McCracken, Leslie Eiler Thompson Written by Leslie Eiler Thompson Edited by Andrew Osenga Mastered by Mike Cosper Music by Sandra McCracken
