So glad to note that
Vic and Al's, the lifesaving community kitchen from
culinary champion Nic Patrizi, is expanding for regular take-out service on Fri., May 22, initially featuring nightly dinner specials (available online and for call-ahead orders); then, "in a couple weeks," they'll debut a Quick Menu for lunch and dinner service.
Counter Culture, that vegan vision of hope and
amazingly tasty noms on the Eastside, returns with pickup and delivery options, having ditched the "2.13 + tips" model to pay
all their workers a decent wage.More carnivorously,
Salt & Time Butcher Shop is
preparing to debut a smart new carry-out cafe, with sandwiches and coffee and more, in Republic Square in the heart of Downtown, and we'll let you know as soon as they're good to go.
LORO, the famed Asian-style smokehouse already on top of the plaguetime pickup and delivery game, is
now open for limited in-restaurant seating with 1) mouthwatering food and 2) extra safety procedures in place.And while Barton Springs Road stalwart
Shady Grove has shuttered for good, and the
Lucy's Fried Chicken location
on Lake Travis is now defunct, the pretty much omnipresent
Juiceland is re-opening five more shops for carryout
and adding walk-up windows to
all of its locations. Helluva juicy pivot, there, people – with all the vital fluids we need.
