Take-Out Only @El Pollo Guapo
Updated: Sep 7, 2020
On March 24 I started working on a project called Take Out Only in response to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on restaurants in my area. In my work as a food photographer, I work with a lot of restaurants, both established and new. This is a huge hit for them. When most restaurants fail in the first year, something like this can put even a restaurant that has been in business for years out of business...fast. The impact of this virus has touched so many industries, my own included.
I wanted to bring attention to the places that I've worked with, and the ones that I have never even been to. To let people know what they're dealing with, how they're still
operating, what they're doing to stay safe, both for themselves and their customers. Using what I can out of my talent set, this is my way of saying thank you, we know you're struggling, how can I help.
El Pollo Guapo is "A neighborhood rotisserie joint featuring whole roasted chickens, fresh sides, tacos and salads. Oh yeah, we cater too.'
This place was pretty busy when I stopped by! I spoke with Tony and he told me that they're primarily a take-out joint, so they were handling the new environment pretty well.
El Pollo Guapo has three locations: WETHERSFIELD l 1866 Berlin Turnpike l (860) 436-4982
HARTFORD l 26 Front St l 860) 246-2800
GLASTONBURY l 347 New London Turnpike l (860) 781-8356
Please note: I practice social distancing guidelines, shoot with long lenses to look like I'm closer than I am, get in and get out to stay out of the way and do not go in to kitchen's unless invited, stay far back from food and I check my temperature before going out
