The Ultimate San Diego 2021 Takeout Guide
December 11, 2020
Search
By now, we’re familiar with how the various stages of grief for what 2020 could have been present themselves. Like so many others in regions throughout the state and around the world, many small companies (including this one) in San Diego County are facing the toughest moment yet. How can we make it through the many weeks and months of various stages of restrictions?
Each of us personally and professionally are facing a whole big batch of tough choices, so the three of us with Edible San Diego decided to create a new website guide all about takeout—county-wide. This is similar to the resource list we developed in the spring, back when this all started, with our free website listing of county businesses sorted by neighborhood.
For restaurant owners and managers, it’s simple. Fill out the form. We’ll update it and promote it in this guide. No charge.
What can you do to help pay it forward? Please share and reference this guide when you’re looking for local places to order takeout or delivery from and we can all lift each other up, even just a little.
So, okay, if we have to focus on what we can control in the moment, without aiming for perfection or stressing about other people’s opinions, let’s commit to: seeking out the most nourishing foods our budgets, time, and access permit; prepare them at home with as much presence and gratitude as we can muster; and patronize the restaurants relying on us to keep moving forward as often as we can.
Never has our interdependency ever revealed itself so emphatically.
What will we do in this historic moment to get to the other side of this pandemic? Rely on each other and trust that in that active choice to care, connect, and strive, we will find new opportunities.
