quarantine cuisine

I'm doing my best to support local restaurants during this time of covid19.

While I'm torn about ordering and delivery services--how much profit do they strip away from restaurants? do they mistreat their workers?--sometimes they are the only way to go.

Here's my list of takeout and delivery, so far:

• March
• Qazi's Curry House: always delicious; the malai kofta are succulent and tender
• Kidd Valley: do not recommend, unless they have significantly improved the takeout situation. In March a lot of crowding and unmasked mingling
  
• April
• Pecado Bueno: tasty and friendly with killer to-go house margaritas
  
• Ada's Restaurant and Bar: early on, they weren't great with takeout protocols but maybe the best baklava of my life
  
• Blue Star Cafe and Pub: dependable breakfast food, amazing giant cinnamon roll that will feed a family of five
  
• Araya's Place: the tastiest vegetarian Thai food
  
• Kyoto Teriyaki: I double-order tofu teriyaki so there are always leftovers
  
• El Chupacabra: delicious vegetarian Mexican food but picking it up in white bread Greenwood is a cluster fuck
  
• May
• Chutney's Bistro: it pains me to say it but not as good as they once were. Still, the naan is tasty
  
• Norm's Eatery: reliable bar food including fried pickles
  
• Ayutthaya Thai: love the curry sauces but the pad thai is too bland and fishy
  
• Qazi's Curry House: always good good good
  
• Lost Lake Cafe and Lounge: strong Impossible burger and takeout breakfast can stretch over 3 days. I stood around the first night of protests, fires and curfew, nervously awaiting my dinner alongside a chatty PostMates driver on nearly empty streets
  
• June
• Ian's Pizza (2x): the sauce is zingy and delish, and love the caesar salad
  
• Mirch Masala: strong contender for Indian takeout on the hill
  
• Blue Star Cafe and Pub: as I said, dependable
  
• Kedai Makan: a treat for a family member's birthday
  
• July
• ZapVerr Thai Restaurant and Lounge: mango slivers make the fresh rolls even tastier
  
• Lost Lake Cafe and Lounge: burger game strong
  
• Lupo: maybe the best takeout pizza so far, the aged Asiago cheese made the cacio e pepe pizza and the caesar beyond delicious
  
• Galaxy Rune: vegan burgers, handcut fries -- yes please! Wowza
  
• Veggie Grill: okay it's a chain but sometimes you need buffalo cauliflower and a grain bowl. Yum
