I hope people are continuing to support local eateries and caterers by ordering takeout or delivery from participating restaurants. More and more establishments are joining this group as a way to help stay afloat. You can find many of them on your food apps like Uber Eats, Door Dash, Foodora, Ritual, etc.
Check out my Instagram, @ShaneaSavours, where I will showcase and update other restaurants.
I hope you all stay safe and eat well.
