What are we eating during our social distancing? Lots of us are trying out new recipes, doing more baking and grilling as we wait out the Coronavirus lock down. Restaurants are hurting and many will fall by the wayside. Those that had takeout capabilities are hanging in and those that created a takeout ability are back in the game in a limited way.
