What the creator captured
Danny Kim visited struggling restaurants in Virginia and DC to surprise the owners by bringing in a massive crowd of friends to boost business. He was particularly moved by the owner of Okonomi, who worked 90-hour weeks alone, and was later stunned by the high quality of the pizza at Alfreda DC. The video highlights his mission to use his platform to support local businesses that serve great food but lack customers.
