The growing fear about leaving the house as we enter the critical weeks of Coronavirus in our community have been quite apparent to me as an individual within my circles. I know personally many of my friends are not leaving the house for takeout and are stocked on food to cook at home for months.
However, at the same exact time, we’re all getting pretty damn restless, wouldn’t you say? Combine that with how good we’re all getting at social distancing, sanitizing, and practicing the safety guidelines of the CDC, it’s really hard to forgo getting at least one take-out meal per week. Even better, IMO, is that some of our favorite spots are feeding into our restlessness and providing us with the ingredients and takeout kits to make their delicacies at home.
I’ve rounded up some of my favorite spots that are offering kits, starters, pantry items, and more that would get you set up to feel like a master chef and make the brunch of your dreams in your own home.
