Like many of you, we are in support of flattening the curve and encourage you all to stay home as much as possible and minimize contact with others, but you can still support the local restaurant industry by ordering takeout and delivery. Many restaurants are offering special menu items, and over at Prairie, chef Anthony Strong is going the extra mile, turning the restaurant into a general store where you can purchase cook-at-home meal kits as well as curated boxes of pantry items.
Below is a list of San Francisco restaurants doing what they can to feed the people in as safe a way as possible. If you have suggestions for more, please leave us a comment on our Facebook page.
If you're in self-quarantine and don't want to risk even takeout, consider purchasing a gift card or sending your own cash gift to your favorite restaurant to help them continue to pay the bills during this crisis so they'll be there to feed you when we reach the end of this tunnel.
Be well out there.
