Great American Takeout kicks off Tuesday

Support local eateries during the coronavirus pandemic by taking part in the Great American Takeout on Tuesday.

LOS ANGELES - You can satisfy your hunger and help your favorite restaurant survive this coronavirus pandemic by taking part in the "Great American Takeout" Tuesday.

The promotion is simple: Order take-out or delivery from a restaurant, post about it on social media with the hash-tag "TheGreatAmericanTakeout" and encourage your friends to do the same!

The Great American Takeout is sponsored by a coalition of restaurant chains such as California Pizza Kitchen, El Torito, and Habit Burger Grill.

Organizers say that no-dine-in rules brought on by the coronavirus crisis threaten all eateries in unprecedented ways. Many restaurants have already laid-off workers and are struggling to stay afloat.
