re: What’s the deal with eating outside at restaurants?

Well you aren't me so shut up. Lot's of people like eating outside with drinks and socializing.

I haven't been able to catch much of the news on this, so apologies if I'm unclear on it.

- No table service, so I assume it is more like a food truck setup where you order at a window/table and get your food in takeout containers?

- Will short order bar service for alcohol be allowed? Like people going back to the bar for additional rounds?

- Is this for anyone with any kind of patio? Or just moreso meant for places with like a bunch of picnic tables that are really spread out? For example, grabbing some takeout food and eating in a parking lot is quite different than going into a patio such as Superior that technically isn't much of a patio (it is a room whose windows roll up or down)

- I assume distancing rules mean you're not anywhere near other tables or people for socializing

I love me a good patio - just trying to get a mental picture, as this sounds closer to grabbing takeout and going have a picnic (which you could already do) than it does like patio seating.
