Whatever happened to eating out?

Its a reasonable question and basically it has a simple answer - Pandemic & quarantine. Let me tell you, I was an essential employee until recently and much of that was working nights shifts. It was a real pain in the butt because everything closed early either due to mandated measures or lack of employees. We were all bringing our lunch and snacks and missing last night drive through.
I was looking forward to when we could go back to 24 hour grocery shopping and 1am McDonalds. Yeah. I don't have either of those yet. 

The other issue has been that many places have closed due to adverse economic impact or a serious lack of employees. (don't tempt me I refuse to climb onto my salt box on that one).  

The last issue that where I currently live... there is a lot of wide open spaces out here in Berks and Schuylkill Counties; eating establishments aren't as just down the block like they are in more densly populated areas.  Also  its mostly fast food and certainly not much in the way of ethnic food....yes there is Chinese & Italian, but I'm really missing Moroccan food and Japanese Hibachi.  Choices, as Tatiana would say, afterall, I did decide to move up here.

There are great wings here, especially at the Westy and some BBQ places and of course lots of pizza, but the nearest Primo's is too far away!

That's all for now folks  - it is my plan to pay better attention to my blogs here so if there is anything you would like to know - just ask!
