Are people going to stop going out to eat after this?

Alabama is now allowing restaurants to sell alcoholic drinks in to-go orders. Local place posted on their FB last night that we can get booze to go with our meals. I think they'll be fine.


At what price point though? Are people going to be paying $24 for a sixer on a to go order?

We are ordering takeout from our favorite places. We have a rotation and are sticking to it. The only difference is that we order to-go instead of dine-in.

And some chain places are in that rotation.

Good deal. Louisiana is allowing beer/wine sales with to-go orders. Hopefully that curbs some of their losses.

places that rely on alcohol sales will be the ones feeling it the most.


That's virtually everywhere. Food costs are shite. They mark up alcohol like crazy.

I think you are over generalizing. I live close to an OUTSTANDING fresh seafood restaurant and they are attempting to survive with curbside...but who the hell wants raw oysters on the half shell, or a gourmet blackened seafood dish out of Styrofoam... I know they are gonna hurt and it is in no way a reflection of their quality

People who care more about quality food than pretentious presentation?

Not about the presentation... do you really want fish that is supposed to be served hot and fresh after it's been sitting in stryofoam after being prepped and then on the ride home...how much confidence that raw oysters have been kept cold enough

Given what I said above, imagine you are given the choice between take out from a really good seafood restaurant with the above options or a really good taco/italian place. The other options just make more sense in take-out form

So much to unpack here. Are you under the impression that restaurants have to choose quality or presentation? And that presenting food on a plate is pretentious?

You have your anniversary at outback?
