I went to Galan’s and had the burrito-fied version of a Cuban sandwich — a first for me — and I can recommend it. A ton of food for a reasonable price. The fried yuca were quite good too.

A few weeks ago I had the arroz con pollo special and it was excellent.

Just a note about the list: a LOT of places who previously featured carry-out are not listed, whether because they did not attract hotel guests or because they didn't advertise in City Concierge or because they just closed I don't know. In other words we will at least call Simply Thai, Jasmine, Thai Cafe, Hiko-a-Mon, NamNam, etc if we want that style food for carry-out!

[Robin Garr]

Laura (CIty Concierge) is a friend, and she absolutely did not limit that list to advertisers. I think the problem is that it's a moving target, everyone is trying to provide this service, and it's very hard to be comprehensive. Her focus was to include operating hours, for one thing, and I believe she is only trying to list places for which she had that info. Just to clarify ...

River House is indeed selling ingredients, and their prices are really reasonable compared to grocery prices. They're also doing curbside for groceries and restaurant-cooked meals. Here are the details per an email I received from them this morning:

Thanks for the info, Joni!

Just saw this Facebook Group on Takeout ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/196886481605760/

New Facebook group for Louisville restaurants to go. Seems like good recommendations - may be worth checking out:

I thought this was a helpful resource addressing the risks around getting takeout during the coronavirus outbreak.

https://www.seriouseats.com/2020/03/foo ... covid-food

According to multiple health and safety organizations worldwide, including the CDC, the USDA, and the European Food safety Authority, there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 has spread through food or food packaging. Previous coronavirus epidemics likewise showed no evidence of having been spread through food or packaging.

Are we sure food isn’t a vector of COVID-19 transmission?

No, we don't know for sure. However, there is strong evidence to suggest that food is not a vector. The epidemiology of food-borne pathogens is well studied, with government data going back to 1938. The spread pattern of COVID-19 does not fit models of foodborne outbreaks, which are defined as two or more people getting sick from the same contaminated food or drink.

For instance, Singapore has tracked its COVID-19 patients and submitted them to extensive interviews by teams from the Ministry of Health to try to determine patterns of spread. It's been found that most cases are linked to clusters of people, including hotel guests attending conferences, church groups, and shoppers, while none are linked to contaminated food or drink.

The fact that every person eats multiple times a day and thus far no link has been found between eating and viral clusters is strong evidence that no such link exists.

I’m still not convinced. How could food not be a vector?

Let’s say a food worker coughs while preparing my food, how could I not pick up the virus from eating it? This confused me as well, which is why I specifically inquired about it. According to Chapman, the risk is minimal. Even if a worker sneezes directly into a bowl of raw salad greens before packing it in a take-out container for you to take home, as gross as it is, it's unlikely to get you sick.

This 2018 overview of both experimental and observational study of respiratory viruses from the scientific journal Current Opion in Virology (COVIRO) explains that respiratory viruses reproduce along the respiratory tract—a different pathway than the digestive tract food follows when you swallow it. And while you might say that you just inhaled that salad, more likely you ate it with a fork and swallowed it.

Fascinating, Iggy. Thanks!

Sadly, Taco Choza shuttered their takeout option last Tuesday and announced it on the Facebook page on Wednesday.

I ordered chicken pho, NamNam rolls, and Saigon noodles from NamNam Cafe via Doordash. That will make at least three meals for me. The rolls and noodles were excellent, and I was particularly impressed with the pork they use in the rolls. I thought the chicken pho was bland, but to be fair, they do refer to it as "chicken noodle soup." Doordash driver left them on my porch and I didn't have to go near any people.

I saw on Facebook that Ladyfingers is doing takeout lunches and dinners, here's their menus:

Don't forget about the bakeries. We're going to miss them if we don't take care of them too:

Good advice, Mike! Blue Dog too, of course, and Butchertown Grocery Bakery, assuming both are in operation through this. I know Blue Dog is, because Paul's has their baguettes.
