CBS St. Louis December 21, 2020 The coronavirus pandemic has put unprecedented strain on health care workers across the country and one local chef is making sure he's doing his part in helping our St. Louis frontline workers. Mohammed Qadadeh, came up with the idea to make the best out of a negative situation across St. Louis. Qadadeh, who also owns American Falafel in the Delmar Loop, wanted to give customers a chance to buy a meal for those battling the outbreak on a daily basis. "The response has been amazing from the community," Qadadeh said. He took this idea to the city in November and now 23 restaurants in the Loop put together meals every Wednesday and Sunday. It is a program already being done for the homeless. On Sunday, both the project for frontline workers and for the homeless reached records.Two hundred meals went out to frontline workers and the homeless.
