FAIRHOPE, Ala. - s4story -- In the face of unprecedented challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, The Eat Beat, a prominent publication showcasing the local restaurant and entertainment scene, is making a triumphant return. After a hiatus of over three years, The Eat Beat is thrilled to announce its revival as a partnership between Founder Beth Anne McCormick and Valerie and C.J. Ezell, owners of CrossBay Digital, a leading full-service marketing agency based in Fairhope.

The COVID-19 outbreak profoundly impacted the restaurant industry, forcing closures, limiting hours, and a shift to takeout services. Faced with these challenges, The Eat Beat decided to halt its operations to regroup alongside other small business owners in the community.

However, with restaurants now thriving, musicians resuming performances, and tourism bouncing back, The Eat Beat is ready to resume printing and promoting the local restaurant and entertainment scene. The partnership with CrossBay Digital brings a wealth of expertise and resources that will ensure the publication's success and help reach a wider audience than ever before.
