        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>2 Chainz</strong> is reopening his Atlanta restaurants for sit-down service after they were temporarily closed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>Both locations of Escobar Restuarant &amp; Tapas will open their doors Monday, <strong>TMZ reported on Friday</strong>. The restaurants were previously only doing take-out service during Georgia&#8217;s shutdown.</p><p>The restaurants are apparently taking extra precautions to avoid spreading COVID-19.</p><p>Staff will have their temperatures checked before shifts, employees must wear gloves, cooks must wear masks, and patrons will be given paper menus, 2 Chainz&#8217;s business partner Snoop Dillard told the site. Additionally, any symptomatic employees must self-quarantine for 14 days before returning back to work.</p><p>The move to reopen comes after the eatery had to furlough 80% of their staff. Their sales had reportedly dropped 95% during the shutdown.</p><p>Now they plan to bring back 80 employees to get things going again with sit-down service and continued take-out.</p><p>They also plan on continuing to have live DJ sets because 2 Chainz, 42, and Snoop Dillard understand that DJs need jobs too.</p><p>The &#8220;Mercy&#8221; rapper&#8217;s plan to reopen is a controversial decision as Georiga politicians continue to battle over whether reopening its economy is the responsible thing to do.</p><p>While Gov. Brian Kemp says businesses can get back to work, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is asking people to stay home.</p><p>A rep for 2 Chainz did not immediately respond to our request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
