Eat STK for #TheGreatAmericanTakeout March 24th, 2020

Support Your Favorite Restaurants

It's time for a new food holiday here in the US. When restaurants need us the most, someone came up with the great idea of dedicating March 24th, 2020 to #TheGreatAmericanTakeout. This is our opportunity to show love for the restaurants that have brought us so much joy over the years. My brother is a server in Seattle where the restaurant industry was hit hard early on. He sadly lost his job and my heart breaks for those in the service industry experiencing similar situations.

So, I chose today as the day to bring back my focus for a moment. I'm not sure about all of you, but I have found the last few weeks very draining and I have been left uninspired to create the content I normally do because of this global pandemic. But I realise now is also the perfect time to continue doing the things that make us happy. So in my effort to do so I wanted to showcase the amazing team at STK in the Gaslamp Quarter and their takeout menu offerings at this time.

I received a message from their Executive Chef Tim Henderson letting me know that STK had switched to takeout and delivery options. If you've read my previous interview with him then you know how much I love this restaurant and their amazing staff. At this time they have not laid anyone off and they are working as hard as possible to keep the restaurant afloat so that they all have jobs to come back to.

I'm sure many of you have restaurants in your city that you love and want to support. If you don't feel comfortable going out to grab food, you can stay in and order from Postmates (Use Code: X6ILL for $25 Credit) or Uber Eats. Many restaurant workers have turned to these platforms as well as a way to make some income in hard times.

The most beautiful steak! It was cooked perfectly and was still hot when I brought it home.

Another great option is purchasing gift cards to use at a later date as well. Your support in any way shape or form will help them bounce back after this has finally come to an end. I am dreaming of that day, and I know you all are too.

You know their signature mac & cheese is a must no matter what is happening in the world.

The best thing I can say right now is don't lose hope and we are all in this together. My blog wouldn't be where it is today without the amazing restaurants and chefs I have met along the way. I will continue to do what I can to show my love for them, even in dark times.

Take care everyone and I hope you find a restaurant to support today, tomorrow and in the future.

XOXO,

Natasha
