Another week has passed and many of us are still staying at home. Working from home. Eating at home. To be honest, I personally have kinda exhausted my culinary skills. However, I am staying home and eat yet another bowl of rice or pasta. Craving some delicious food, some change from my home cooking. And this got me thinking about ordering in. But how to sift through those hundreds of entries on Ubereats? And in the current economical situation, are there any local businesses that could do with a little help?


So I went on a mission to find great restaurants, bars, and producers that have changed the way they operate. That have added delivery options to their menus for us to eat excellent food, stay healthy and sane while we are waiting for life to go back to “normal”. 


On another thought, what would dinner be without a glass of wine or some delicious Japanese sake? Which is why I also added some great shops for you to buy your favorite tipple.
