Restaurants making alterations amid natural gas outage in Lee County
SUMMARY: A natural gas outage in Lee County has forced local restaurants, like Bulldog Burger in Tupelo, to alter operations. Without gas, staff couldn’t cook or wash dishes. In contrast, Local Taco kept its doors open at two locations by offering a limited menu and cooking food off-site. The general manager emphasized the importance of staying open to meet customer demand. While some restaurants closed, Local Taco continued serving, becoming a popular stop for customers. The outage is not only an inconvenience but is also impacting the local economy, as discussed by Mayor Todd Jordan.
