National Restaurant Association EVP Talks Challenges Facing the Restaurant Industry

In fact, July saw the biggest inflationary gap between grocery stores and restaurants since the 1970s.

Sean Kennedy, Executive Vice President for Public Affairs for the National Restaurant Association, joins Cheddar News' Closing Bell to discuss.
