Brian Campbell owns and runs the Miann dessert restaurant, patisserie and chocolate factory in Auckland, New Zealand.The Scottish-born pastry chef's premises have been completely shut down in the country's coronavirus lockdown.
He responded to each of the individual requests, but also took to Instagram to address them collectively. He posted an image on his restaurant's Instagram profile that started:"Dear Influencer". "I think a lot of people don't understand what we're going through. Going from having business to having zero business is quite a tough situation to be in. We're supporting families, trying to keep our staff employed," he said.
