Show the Food and Beverage Industry Some Love

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to break records across the country, Santa Rosa and Sonoma County restaurants need your help, especially following last week’s Stay-at-Home order. Will the restaurants we know and love be able to reopen in a post-COVID-19 world? How will the cooks, servers, bussers, and bartenders who staff those restaurants make it through the coming weeks and months with no income?

The people who have fed us when we’ve needed comfort, popped bottles for us when we’ve had cause to celebrate, or delivered pizza to our doorstep every other night of the week need our support — and fast. So, Visit Santa Rosa has put together this list of Take Out, Delivery, and Curbside Pickup resources for anyone who wants to support Sonoma County restaurants and breweries, and their staff during this unprecedented time.

"Takeout and delivery can go a long way to supporting our local restaurants," said Chef Gray Rollin, owner of Belly East Coast Kitchen and Taproom "...it's a good thing for the local economy and helps businesses, helps service industry workers and ordering takeout or delivery is a good option."

During this holiday season you can also show your favorite local restaurants some love now and cash in later when we will all be relearning how to dine in public. Give restaurant gift cards to all your friends with spring birthdays in the hopes that they will eventually take you out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
