Comfort Food During Trying Times: Filipino Restaurants Offering Delivery
Let’s face it: we’re in a weird time as our local, national, and global communities are affected by COVID-19.
With San Francisco’s “shelter-in-place” mandate, a lot of us are faced with the difficult decision to be apart from family and friends in order to preserve the health and safey of our collective community. Despite the physical distance, comfort food is a small reminder of home. We want to shout-out local entrepreneurs and restaurants that are offering food delivery or takeout and reminding us that feeling connected can come in a dish that tastes like home.
