Struggling to survive off take-out and delivery alone, some restaurants are repurposing extra raw ingredients into groceries to bring in some extra income.
Restaurants are selling their extra ingredients as groceries alongside their regular menus, packaging items like produce, meats, dairy and even caviar by the tin. If you’re still in D.C. and looking to avoid the grocery store crowds, here are some restaurants that are doubling as delivering grocers during the pandemic.
Founding Farmers
Founding Farmers considers itself a one-stop shop for meals, groceries and other household essentials, and it’s right. Along with its regular dishes, the menu includes sections for deli, butchery, seafood and produce as well as pantry staples like dish soap, toilet paper and bottled water. It also offers pet food, CBD products like gummies ($54 for a 30-count pack), assorted wines, beers and bottled cocktails.
Open for pickup or daily 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Order here from Tyson’s Corner, Reston Station or Massachusetts Avenues locations.
