For Memphis trivia maestro, pandemic demands reinvention
Up next for Kevin Cerrito: The first Virtual Memphis Beer Festival
Local trivia host Kevin Cerrito has shifted from crowded bars to the open air and social distance of Malco’s Summer Drive-In for weekly trivia nights during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He presents a round via the drive-in’s radio signal on Tuesday, July 28, 2020. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
Cerrito’s business was based on friends interacting at preferably crowded indoor spaces. What happens when barroom bonhomie becomes a public health problem? For Cerrito, it meant a screeching halt to his entire business.
