Sometimes, when the world is crumbling around you and you’re stuck in your living room watching it all unfold through your dirty windows that you keep forgetting to clean, all you want to do is pick up a giant dish of comfort food and well, be comforted.
We’re here for you Orlando. Here’s a quick reference guide to all of the great comfort food dishes that await you at local restaurants who could use your dollars during these trying times. Call them and do a pickup/takeout option and help them skip the delivery fee. While you’re there, consider picking up a gift certificate or card to help them during this slow time and use it later when everything clears up.
Insist on paying with plastic and skip the cash bills to save on the side of germs with your lunch and you’re golden.
