Today Is The Great American Take Out Day

Now's the perfect time to help out your favorite eateries, and take a break from your own kitchen at the same time.

Regardless of a global pandemic, everybody's gotta eat, right?

Coalition brands, which include California Pizza Kitchen, Chevys Fresh Mex, El Torito, The Habit Restaurants Inc., Jason’s Deli, Lemonade, Modern Market, Noodles & Company, Panera Bread and Veggie Grill, are encouraging U.S. consumers to order at least one delivery or pick-up meal on Tuesday to show support for the restaurant community, which is struggling after state and city closures of dining rooms to stem the spread of the COVID-19 infection.

Some of the brands in the coalition, such as Veggie Grill and Xperience Restaurant Group (Chevys and El Torito), are with the ad agency behind the campaign, Los Angeles-based High Wide & Handsome. Other brands participating include: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tocaya Organica, Torchy’s Tacos, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, Primanti Brothers, Tropical Smoothie Café Shari’s Restaurant Group, Beefsteak, Which Wich Superior Sandwiches, ZaLat Pizza, Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill, California Tortilla, Qdoba Mexican Eats and Black Bear Diner.

And, let's not forget Rockford's outstanding local restaurants!
