Changemaker Interview: A Conversation With Goldbelly CEO Joe Ariel

This summer Goldbelly launched the Local Legends Fund, a creative corporate giveback program. The fund’s mission: bring 100 restaurants back to life, to resurrect beloved local shops that have had to close due to unexpected challenges, including the pandemic, and make them even stronger than they were before. Early recipients of aid included Jones’ Bar-B-Q, Arkansas’ oldest black-owned restaurant, Rotier’s, a beloved Nashville burger joint, and Shirley Chung’s Ms. Chi, an artisan dumpling shop in Los Angeles.
