The coronavirus has changed everything, especially the way we eat. Some of us are cooking more. Many of us are picking up or having food delivered. As I am writing this, we are a few days into our 30-day shelter in place. In other words, only essential services will be available. But restaurants and caterers – at least the ones that are operational during this time period – are essential. It’s important that we keep supporting our restaurants and caterers, especially those that are local and are on the front lines, offering us delicious pick up and delivery choices. During these fraught times, they are particularly vulnerable to closure. Here is a list of a few favorites that are near and dear to our hearts. Enjoy and stay safe.
