A lot of workers have been "86'd" from their jobs right now. But there is a local restaurant feeding furloughed workers for free every Tuesday. It is called the "86'd Program."

The Urban Hotdog Company reports that business has been pretty since switching to take-out only. Now, the restaurant is giving back.

"We started brainstorming and decided to service...the service industry," Matthew Bernabe said.

Now, the restaurant is feeding anyone out of a job every Tuesday. They have been doing this for a month now, and they don't plan on stopping. They say as the crowd gets bigger, so does the amount of people wanting to help.

"The support has just been through the roof. It's been very humbling from a hospitality aspect, it's just been fantastic," Corey Moulton said.

I admit I have a culinary adventurous streak in me, but their menu is......different.

You made me look!
Yep, I think I can skip the ones with beets and seaweed.
The Chicago dog looks awesome, of course.

What a great gesture, and I’m sure there are many more stories out there of business owners paying it forward. My hats off to them all.

Yeah, that is nice to hear. I’m praying to the Good Lord this thing is over soon and we can get back to normal. Or something like it.
