The Louisiana Restaurant Association expects a busy Mother’s Day for members despite coronavirus restrictions.
LRA President Stan Harris says this is one of, if not the biggest day for the industry, and while you can’t eat in, you can certainly take out.
“They are putting together family packs and you can pick the time that you want to come by and pick it up or use a delivery service. We are trying to deliver that same restaurant quality food experience,” says Harris.
Outdoor eating with no service is allowed and Harris says while only four percent of restaurants are permitted for patio dining many parishes have allowed non-permitted businesses to set out some tables.
Harris recommends if you are ordering take out for Mother’s Day that you place your order now.
“Some of our restaurants are reporting that they have already sold those out, those timeframes that are more popular and in demand like late morning, early afternoon,” says Harris.
If you are picking up, or having food delivered but aren’t immediately serving it Harris says make sure you can keep everything at the proper temperature to maintain quality.
“If you are bringing a large quantity of food you may want to use an insulated bag or ice chest, and then rewarm them using the right approach to it like putting them in the oven and bringing them back a little bit,” says Harris.
