There a few places in DC (and I'm sure other cities throughout the country) that are essentially becoming temporary food kitchens. Food waste is a big problem as it is.

Just back from a walk about the 'hood.  I'd say 80% of the restaurants are just closed.  The others are take out only.  The Cafe above is closed, and I suppose they cooked everything they had yesterday.  It very very sad to see, this is such a vibrant community in normal times.  The park is rather crowded in a sense, the weather is near perfect.

None of these restaurants are large chains other than a Chipotle and Panera Bread.  I don't know how long they can last as is.  I talked with a couple guys who are working to open a burger place called Sam's in a couple weeks they said.  I told them I would come by and get take out when they open.  One guy was older and eastern European and the other was a young black guy, both very friendly.

If this doesn't somehow loosen up in a week or two, half the country may be out of work.  It's bad.

Remember to support your local restaurants by ordering takeout or delivery once in a while.

We have 4 containers of propane, so I can grill for a long time with that. It gets hot enough to boil water too, thank you Weber.
That reminds me. I need more propane. Planning to brew this weekend :-) 

I found this funny - at the grocery store, all of the ground beef was gone.  Ground turkey was nearly fully stocked.  I got plenty.
That's weird. Turkey is usually cheaper than beef too, right? 

You say you live on/near the reservation, right? Is this a cultural thing with the tribes? 

At Costco last night the only remaining meat was the high-dollar stuff, USDA prime steaks, seafood, and the organic ground beef and bison was fine. That's how I can tell the panic is subsiding, because people aren't buying "at whatever price"; they're buying up all the cheap proteins and even within beef, the cheap cuts.

But I fail to see why ground turkey wouldn't have a similar run. 
the breweries here won't fill an outside growler, but will fill one if I purchase new from them
That's what I ran into. I called to see if they were filling growlers and on the phone they said yes, but didn't highlight that point. I walked in and they clarified (as they saw me with my cooler) that they aren't filling growlers from outside. We did spring cleaning in the garage two weekends ago and one of the things I did was pitched a lot of my low-use growlers to save space, so I wasn't about to buy a new one.

But they do sell crowlers, so I got 3 crowlers full of beer. And I think somehow they really undercharged me, which was nice.

Most are just closed down totally.  They are not the type to have take out orders at all.  The few remaining open are more casual places.  The shame is that about 5 more are scheduled to open for the first time soon, including a Persian restaurant.  Our French restaurant is trying to do take out and we'll order something tomorrow from them.  That doesn't help their alcohol business nor their servers.

Slap the shit out of these f-balls, and also deny them any healthcare if they get "corona". Their names are out there.

I'm sure the little wine bar that my wife and I call home [where we were legally married!] is hurting. They are keeping their retail business open and offering to-go charcuterie platters.

So on Friday we're going to buy a nice bottle and a charcuterie platter to bring home. Not like we need any more nice wine in this house, but we want to do our part to keep money coming in for them.

It helps the owners and helps the food prep people and helps keep a person or two employed to push out the orders or delivery, etc.


If you can help the owners, the job might be there when this blows over. If the owner is forced to close, there is nothing to come back to.

Nice job Brad I'm sure future employers won't do a web search and see that

I moved down to Phoenix a couple of years ago.  
The beef being gone with all the ground turkey being available made me laugh, as (poor) people have no interest in a healthy alternative - even in a crisis.  
Cookies and chips filling carts, nuts and salad shelves still full.  Fruit snacks gone, dried fruit still available.  
It's just revealing.
