Famed Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse filed a lawsuit Tuesday against its insurance company, AMCO, for denying coverage for losses resulting from the government-mandated shutdowns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Owner and founder Alice Waters said in a statement that “Chez Panisse spent years paying hefty premiums for business interruption insurance and AMCO has an obligation to help provide economic relief to my team and restore the wide-ranging supply chain of small farms and businesses that Chez Panisse relies on to provide fresh and local cuisine.”
