(It actually ended with a clean plate.)
A good thing born of this moment?
Cincinnati chef and restaurateur David Falk recently unveiled a new delivery service, Domo (Latin for “at home”), from his Boca Restaurant Group that provides families with restaurant-quality meals from the safety and comfort of their homes.
– excerpt from Cincinnati Magazine, September 1, 2020
It’s been heartbreaking to see the effect on restaurants and hospitality sectors this year. I support safely from afar and order takeout with regularity.
I’ve really appreciated DOMO and their approach that considers packaging to maintain quality, with clear instruction how to heat and serve. They’ve blended dishes from all their restaurants and also folded in family recipes that work well in the format.
Their à la carte menu had most everything you’d imagine for thanksgiving, but elevated in some regard. I’ll put our menu behind a cut so I can relive it later.
Heck, I’d consider ordering takeout next year, but I hope by then it’s with a bunch of friends and family.
