Operating in a Shutdown - 886 Restaurant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 апр 2020
- How should a business function during a crisis? Eric Sze and Andy Chuang, owners of 886, a popular Taiwanese restaurant in New York city, chose to put all their efforts toward helping their employees and feeding their community. When NYC restaurants were ordered to close their doors, Eric and Andy took to their kitchen and started making bento boxes to donate to emergency workers throughout the city. Their two-person operation is continuing to cook, with all proceeds going directly back to their staff, many of whom are undocumented.

This guy has a heart of gold. When this is all over make sure you support this restaurant.
Totally agree !! What a classy dude !!
NO way, supporting illegal workers, i dont think so.
@@dangda-ww7de shut up idiot
@@dangda-ww7de fucking moron.
@fucian j Hey, guy, undocumented illegals most likely do the dirty work for many things you love! Such as orange juice, food in your favorite restaurants, even cleaning up after you! Also, they're humans just like us, so fuck off you cold hearted piece of shit
I live in NYC, can confirm this guy is one of the nicest people I've met while eating in East Village!
When u supporting illegals they will vote us out, look at cali it already happening in la, so many illegals anchors voted for their own in.
dang0088 da shut the fuck up please bitch
@@dangda-ww7de You fking Trump get out a here.
@@dangda-ww7de You are a racist piece of filth
dang0088 da learn how to form coherent sentences, dear.
If you’re at home, WiFi, stocked fridge, in bed, count your blessings

Straight Facts and a shit load of bills we can’t pay, thanks 🙏
@@pavelmyronyuk2229 who's we?
wed3k other people dip shit.
Yes I agree. Now's the time to not take things for granted. People didn't want to be outside before, now people are desperate to go outside for fresh air. People who've cancelled hanging out with people are now want to have human interaction.
Being one of the restaurant workers forced to be laid off due to this pandemic, this touches my heart. Keep strong, our restaurant workers are tough people. We live and die as a family. Stay strong brethren.
Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes wish you nothing but the best mr grumpy pants
@Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes whoa great job my dude you are the real hero
what a good boss. thinking about their staff. god bless you guys. stay strong!
No u fool, most of his workers are illegals, coming here taking our jobs, call ice on him for hiring illegals.
dang0088 da - Damn did you wanna work at that Chinese restaurant and they took your job? I feel sorry for your dumbass
Youth will always win
@@dangda-ww7de fucking moron.
@Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes Welfare babies? The states sucking up the most federal money are mostly white Republican states.
These are real men showing leadership and compassion.
I’m glad to hear about a business helping their staff as much as possible. The workers, the citizens, are what make industry turn
I wish my job was like this, instead they just fired all of us lol
@GWell their Taiwanese, not chinese. So you don't have to worry about that xenophobia now.
@G Your racism is both unwanted and ridiculous. Anyone that is willing to contribute to those in need and help make this pandemic slightly more tolerable deserves to be celebrated. Perhaps you can contribute to your fellow citizens instead of being aggressively useless and daft. :)
@G u sound like a piece of shit flamed.
G Why would eating chinese food be risky? How is it different than any other food?
Once restaurants open back up, 886 will be the first place I’ll hit up once I’m in the St. Marks area 🙌🏼
No you won't
Same here ✊🏾✊🏽
Ste B shut up
Same 👍🏻
Go now? Get T/A
Shoutout to all the companies and businesses doing WHATEVER they possibly can to keep people working and paid!
@jabberwolf you act like you know this guy when you dont lmao stfu
Small companies and businesses doing it what it takes to survive exemplifies the spirit that built America.... with the help of immigrants!.
jabberwolf who cares? Theyre still humans
THATS RIGHT YOUR DISHWASHER GETS A RAISE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Orionleo Exactly! I’m glad I’m not the only one who loved that part!!
@@josueramirez9871 they need to deport the illegals here, taking jobs from us.
dang0088 da bruh if you wanna go wash those dishes, go for it man
@@MyKittywarrior If we deport them the restaurant have to hire legals people.
@@dangda-ww7de fucking moron.
I love that these guys are doing this selflessly.
You’re not going to get the response you deserve, but thanks.
Malou Carreras kinda sad that they admitted they were doing this to help undocumented people tho. They’re promoting illegal immigration...
runfree I don’t give af. They shouldn’t be here in the first place. This isn’t about being a human being or not. It’s about justice and morals. Illegals have no morals and I’m not gonna take that back
runfree by helping them pay rent it helping and promoting illegal immigration. This guys parents were probably immigrants, he should know not to help criminals. He should know how hard it was for his parents to come here and what he is doing isn’t right. He’s basically saying fuck you to all the immigrants and their families.
runfree it doesn’t matter to him that many immigrants waited twenty years and spent a lot of money they spent years saving.
One thing you have to appreciate is the amount of emphasis on ensuring the QUALITY of food. They could cut down on costs but still producing top quality food given the situation shows how committed these guys are. Definitely paying a visit once COVID19 fucks off...hopefully soon.
886 is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I had the pleasure of meeting Eric not too long ago. Love this place and everything he’s doing in this video. Keep up the good work guys. You’re amazing and inspiring.
NO its not, amazing, they are hiring illegals, need to call ice.
@@keshybub1322 there are a lot of people waiting inline to come here, these illegals cut in front of them, so they got to go.
Well if there's anything good about this whole lockdown situation it's that it shines a light on people doing these hot difficult Jobs every day!
Melissa Sullivan Exactly! I loved that part. I worked as a dishwasher for one day. I couldn’t keep the job because I was underage at the time. Hardest job I’ve worked in my life. Very miserable. And you can’t imagine what it’s like until you’ve actually done it.
Kitchen staff does not have an age
I love the refreshing honesty of 886 co-owner Eric Sze.
"Four days ago we decided to F@@k it, doing delivery and takeout."
Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes what the hell is wrong with you?
Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes I hope you reported every single (non chain non fast food) restaurant in the country, because you won’t find one that doesn’t employ undocumented immigrants, you asshole
@Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes lmao you haven't done shit you pussy.
This guy is inspiring... I wish all of us were like him
@Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes lol, no he wont. Youd be surprised how little time and resources ICE actually has. Just think about the show "90 day fiance"; it's clearly marriage fraud to provide green cards to immigrants, and USCIS ain't doing shit about it.
Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes ICE doesn’t give a shit, you idiot
@@GDIGhostStalker you dare complain about the almighty ICE? Who cares? Yeah who care about the Corona.
Donny Vu what does one have to do with the other?
God bless you two. Its crazy how a ton of ppl dont see this as a serious crisis, but for us in the restaurant industry our entire lives just got stopped on a dime! Keep working hard
You guys are amazing. Simply amazing. Ive been giving my whole existance to the restaurant industry. And never had a situation where my employers show this much whole hearted appreciation
Blessings to you guys 💪🏽🙏🏽. We’re in the restaurant business too. When they announced they were close restaurants to carry out only we were devastated and we were sure we were gonna close for good. Anyways carry out Is going pretty well, despite 3/4 of our staff being laid off we were able to hire a couple back and pay them on days off. Shit we started doing so good we’re selling 2x more food than usual, we’re donating food to our local hospitals now 🙏🏽 but we should also bring awareness to homeless people and all those who lost their job and won’t be able to eat. Remember we’re all human and spread love peace and positivity 🙏🏽🙏🏽 that’s the only way we’ll get trough this
Heart of gold and the reason we will all get through this. Glad to see good still in the world. Much love from Sydney Australia.
You are both awesome and inspiring! Your workers are blessed to have you. Thank you for your deep compassion!
Doin whats right no matter the consequence. Great people, great story👍
Dear Eric & Andy ,

You’re number one fan from Brooklyn who loves you’re cooking skillz
Much respect to 886 and owners of all eateries across the country and world trying to survive during this difficult time. Wonderful that 866 that the proceeds going to the kitchen staff.

"A week ago s**t kind of went crazy."
Great to see the restaurants come together. This doesn't surprise me taking in to consideration the type of selfless people that are in this industry. Keep it up guys :)
Glad to see compassionate business owners, helping their staff through the crisis. Kudos you two!
You know it's hella real when the guy is wearing a Leauge of Legends Worlds Jacket! at 3:33 CHHEEEERRRSSS!!!!
Awesome job guys, great heartfelt story. Something people need right now
Man this made my day.... thank you Vice for sharing this story. These guys are saints....

Wow i wish more people was like this thank you so much for doing this your generosity will not be forgotten and may you have everything you ever need in life god bless wishing you a happy and wonderful life
getting to see this all play out via eric's instagram stories has truly been amazing and awe inspiring, there are fr not many people like him.
Thank you Ken! 👍🏼
Kudos to all the brave restaurants owners and workers who are weathering these difficult times with innovation and set their sight toward tomorrow ;)
This is inspiring and very positive thing to do. In crisis like this, no matter where you are and that you will thrive. Have to be able to move w the flow and transform when needed to.
This is just awesome, please keep this up and keep helping others with it
I adore 🥰 his honesty. His cursing. His efforts. They both are winners and I’ll put them on my YELP Bookmark for a future visit. *Be blessed, y’all because AN UPDATE is needed*
Keep up the great work! Ive been laid off for about a month now and with how small of an operation my resturanut job is, i may not even have a job to go back to after this. Everyone needs to support another person when possible.
Bless this man just pure heart of Gold!!! And once this is over his effort won't be forgotten the universe will repay you!!!
It is fantastic to see and hear how businesses are adapting and flowing with this the best they can!
Second, that looks SOOOOOOOO good! Man I wish I could get some!
As an ex cook. If I knew that chef was working I'd still come in. Weather or not I was getting paid. I'd rather work for free, just to keep myself busy.
They are risking their own health by going out to work because they don't want to bear the burden of knowing the employees could get infected and pass the disease to their relatives.
@@johnnychang4233 Im a trucker I know about risking my health just to help others. Truckers are being treated like saviors by some and diseased rats by others. But we are out here trying to keep America running.
@@chrisestridge3030 The dude said a lot of his staff was undocumented. They can't afford getting infected.
@@aus-li No health insurance coverage :(
@@chrisestridge3030 I am a lone wolf also who has no one to care but myself, but still the quarantine is to curtain the cross infection and not just to prevent ill people from spreading the contagion.
Mad props and thank you.
Thank you for taking care of your people ♥️
Bless you guys!!!
He seems like a really nice person! He really cares about his staff! 😊
That's pure heart..
Respect! Straight up good peoples
What a bunch of guys keep the good fight going what a inspiration to others
This made me cry, happy tears. What a wonderful boss. May your business succeed indefinitely. God bless. I will definitely visit this place. & once this is over make sure you give your dishwasher a raise like you said 😂😂❤️
This guy is passionate ♡ He cooks the food they sell which means he is a dedicated person, dream is food
I loved this place before quarantine, but this has made me love it even more!
@Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes fuck off u know how many restaurants hire illegals. like i still wanna eat
Warms my heart ❤️
Good content, very inspiring instead of the previous video interview with Andrew C. This lifts the spirit and encourages those who can help.
Love your resilience.
SO DOPE!!! Wishing him the very BEST!!!
one joy i can find in all this crazy virus time is how people are in ways coming together for each other. much respect to guys like this
bless these absolutely wonderful kind loving souls!!!!!!
Chef Eric and Andy are amazing people. Hang in there guys.
God bless you, for taking your employees' needs in mind.
Thank you vice
So proud of you guys!
Man i love this place. Been here twice since I moved to Nyc this winter. Can't wait to eat there again, when this whole thing is contained and life is back to some kind of normal.
Amazing, just amazing.
Thank you
Much Respect
This is amazing, stay strong, stay healthy!
True hustlers will prosper keep getting it homie 💯💯💯💯
i respect this grind so fucking much, i live in Syracuse now but im from NYC. Fulton projects Manhattan. this is so inspiring
Major respect. So many restaurateurs have been badly hit, yet it's the same people who are helping the community and the critical workers in hospitals. I have also donated.
to put his staff before himself is amazing, new york was hit hard after this was shot. I hope this guy and his business are doing ok!
Wow👍👍thank you for those words
No idea why, but this was a joy to watch that I didn't want it to end good food from good people tastes a hell of a lot better sure hope after this madness he will be in business again
All love to these guys
keep doing what u guys doing. love from LA.
Very smart!! Keep striving! 🙌👍🔥🔥🔥
You guys are best entrepreneurs :). In these dire conditions, it is so interesting that everyone is able to learn sustainable and creative ways that could also be taken after this is over.
NYC take-out culture alone can sustain places like this.
Wavey Life maybe
Amazing
Ultraman's Inspirational Recipes shut the Fuck up
these guys are inspiring. Keep it up boys!
Thanks for good news!
Great Video, please do more in this series!!!
Great work guys! When this shit passes I will fly to NYC and visit you guys! Stay safe, stay healthy!
My life right now... head chef in a small town and small restaurant.

Dude, I'll donate them a label maker so they don't have to write on each cover.
You guys are awesome.
As another essential food worker, my respects and admiration, sirs! I would totally bust my ass all day to help you do what you are doing. Thank you for being so awesome, keep the faith, stay strong, and Be Well!
