“Our hope is that this new season of Check, Please! will offer a sense of connection and community to those who crave it. We are inspired by the resilience of our local restaurateurs, and our hope is that we can support them with this platform,” said Joyce Belloise, Vice President of Content and Community Partnerships. “It’s also a unique opportunity for Check, Please! fans to take part in the program, as they can comment, ask questions and offer their own recommendations for great food live during our virtual events.
