The other night I got my wish of some social distancing fried chicken with a family style meal from @fairlanepgh. They came through on an awesome comfort food menu of fried chicken, mac and cheese, baked beans and a buttermilk biscuit. They are still doing family style meals for takeout and contactless pickup several days a week. During these times it's great to not have to cook and support a local business.

Has anyone else found their meals to range from super healthy all the way serious comfort foods? That's totally what I'm doing. Dinner tonight is a double cheeseburger with bacon. Both were done on the grill. I put all that between a @wisecountybiscuits buttermilk biscuit. This is obviously on the comfort food side of things.

Tonight I used an eggplant I bought last week to make a semi-lazy eggplant parmesan. It is still delicious. It's hard not to like foods that are fried and cheesy. Plus I have leftovers for some lunches. However, it's certainly not as pretty as the Eggplant Pizzas @chandskitchen made earlier this week. Check those out too! Don't forget it is possible to still buy groceries and cook at home.

One of the first takeout meals I did as part of the Social Distancing was at @sliceonbroadway. You can never go wrong with some pizza, especially 2 NY style pizzas with a thinner crust and lots of cheese and toppings. This kept me well fed for several meals.

An impulse purchase is no longer just impulsive if you use it at least once. A couple months back Amazon had a sale on the fajita skillets and I really needed an excuse to use it since I had to have one. Last night I decided to grill up a pork loin, peppers and onions and finally put that skillet to use by helping keep my food warm after. One way to beat those social distancing blues is find new and creative things to do at home.

This pic might be from a couple weeks ago, but @pitamyshawarma is still out there serving up some awesome Shawarma. Most days right now he is parked out in front of his soon to open shop on Butler Street and today over at @eleventhhourbrewing. Don't forget many food trucks are still out there serving food that can be taken home.

I did my best today to recreate the @wisecountybiscuits sausage biscuits and gravy at home today. I might have cheated and got a delivery order of buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy from Wise County Biscuits to make it easy. This was the best breakfast of my social distancing except for the mornings I only had a very boozy Bloody Mary. Keep an eye out for the next time they have orders available so you can eat like this at home too!

The other night I took advantage of the @condadotacos new Bud Box for my takeout dinner. It's 2 suggested tacos and a half order or queso or guac for $10! Such an awesome deal. I think they mean for it to be shared with a buddy, but if you eat it all by yourself like I did I won't tell. I regularly eat at Condado so this was a great way for me to get everything I wanted to go!

Right before the encouragement to stay home, I had one final dine-in dinner at @totopomtlebo. I got the enchiladas and my friends got the fish tacos (and I might have eaten them too). Everything is always great at Totopo and it's available for takeout and delivery now. Give them a look on this #TacoTuesday and #greatamericantakeout day.

My first repost of a great restaurant still open for delivery and takeout is @carsonstdeli.craftbeerbar offering great sandwiches and beer. I'm now inspired by @pittsburghplates Carson Street Deli story to tell my own. I always stop here for a pre bar crawl sandwich to get that good and delicious base of bread and protein before spending several hours bouncing from bar to bar. These are some of the sandwiches I got with my brother before some of the crawls. Definitely check them out now for a good meal!

I don't regularly make Bloody Marys at home but I think the current situation calls for Sunday Funday at home cocktails. I luckily had at home some @pghpickleco Briney Mary mix and pickles. This is definitely my favorite mix. It's on the peppery side and loaded with lots of pieces of garlic. Definitely go get some. It's usually at @thebeerhivepgh and online when available.

Tonight my takeout was from @jamisons_west_liberty. I'm glad they reopened for takeout and delivery for a couple of days. Yesterday they got tons of community support and I completely understand why. Always great food and drinks there. For dinner I got some wings with the signature gold sauce and the basi mac and cheese. Keep an eye on their social media for what days they will be open for takeout and delivery in the future!

I managed to get on the list for a @ryanpeterspgh Lasagna. Unbelievable. This beautiful and delicious lasagna was made with fresh pasta, Bolognese, mozzarella, parm and ricotta. It was amazing. It's amazing what he is doing making these. Can't get one of these lasagna? Head over to @ironbornpizza and pick up some fresh pasta and sauce there and also a Detroit style pizza. You won't regret it.
