H-E-B sells meals from Austin restaurants amid COVID-19 outbreak
In the spirit of Texans helping Texans, H-E-B has launched a foodie-inspired pilot program to help Austin restaurants during the coronavirus crisis.
Select H-E-B stores will sell ready-made meals from restaurant partners, like Fresa’s Chicken al Carbon.
Fresa’s lineup includes three items: the kale caesar salad; and then the agave-lime chicken with either Mexican rice, brussels sprouts, and pasilla aioli; or sweet potatoes, black beans, and poblano ranch.
All proceeds from the sales of these chef-prepared meals will go directly to the restaurants.
“We are a family of foodies, and we have a deep relationship with lots of restaurants and chefs, so this is something we wanted to do to help in these difficult times,” Dya Campos, H-E-B Director of Government and Public Affairs, told the San Antonio Express-News.
H-E-B has also launched the same program with Houston and San Antonio restaurants. Click here for details.
As the program develops, H-E-B says they're also look at partnering with Austin's noodle shop Ramen Tatsu-ya and health-concise Picnik.
