Looking for a spot to watch the tournament?

Take a gander at yo cook and server. Ether of them got da sniffels, bolt four da door. Butt, don't touch da handle wen leavin', hey?

[StillAWarrior]

Yes.  I'm going out to eat tonight.  No reason, unless you are symtomatic, to bunker down at this point.

Very uncharacteristically for a weeknight, my wife and I went out to dinner yesterday with two of our daughters and their boyfriends. We had a great time on a somewhat unusual "triple date."

[drewm88]

People (not just in this thread) seem to forget that a lot of restaurants still have their own delivery services. It's good now to give more money to a local business instead of a cut going to a big corp like Uber, but I try to go that route as much as possible always. Uber doesn't care if my food is cold because I'll probably blame the restaurant and pick a different one off Uber Eats next time. The restaurant is much more invested in me being satisfied with their food.

I'm jealous of your mettle. I can't work up the courage to go out to eat at the moment. Going to get some take out from a good place this weekend though.

If you look at it from a sheer numbers perspective .. going out to eat this weekend and catching the virus is a very low %age.    It's a risk, but it honestly is a low one.

It's less of a risk than going to the market/CostCo right now .. I went yesterday and there were hundreds of people there.   A restaurant is going to have far less.

Next week, that risk will likely double+.  So .. get your Arby's right now, people. 

[Galway Eagle]

Grubhub just suspended commissions it charges restaurants. That's awesome of them

[DegenerateDish]

I was just talking with my wife about a friend's birthday party at an indoor trampoline park just got cancelled for next weekend. I was thinking too, those places, indoor entertainment places like Dave and Buster's, trampoline parks, those type of places are going to get destroyed here soon.

Every performance house, arena .. and movie theater.   

Anywhere that depends on customers, which is like everywhere.

I realize I'm hijacking this thread now, and maybe this has been stated elsewhere, but what does ESPN do for the next month? Debate shows have nothing to debate, there's no games to televise, Sportscenter is useless.

And not just ESPN either, tv content for really anything that isn't already canned is going to come to a screeching halt.

A lot of ESPN Classics aired on all iterations?

It isn't a great option, but maybe the best thing would be for them all to turn into their own versions of ESPN Classic. Have sports channels show great NCAA Tournament or NBA games from years past. Not ideal, but it may be the best they have....

I saw it suggested somewhere on Twitter that ESPN should move up the 10 part doc series on The Last Run (or whatever it's called) about the Bulls, from June to next week.

* Sports movies
* Sports Documentaries
* Classic games re-aired

[mu_hilltopper]

ESPN should just start Twitch streaming Fortnite matches or something.

(3/13/20) - By now, you've likely received a lot of emails about COVID-19, and understandably so. Our collective concerns about the virus and the rapidly evolving impact this pandemic has had on day-to-day life remain unavoidably front of mind. Travel is growing increasingly restrictive or otherwise prohibitive, social events are being canceled, and more people are being encouraged or instructed to work from home.

Those of us in hospitality, however, do not have the option to work remotely. Our vocation revolves around a passion for cooking things, serving people, cleaning, creating, and otherwise doing the things that bring happiness to others. We are grateful to all of our regulars and friends who have reached out to us or stopped by to check in. During this challenging time, let's all remember to support all industries of service however possible.

With that in mind, our Doc’s Smokehouse restaurants remain open and our team is dedicated to providing you with delicious BBQ, Bourbon and Beer. We continue to follow rigid guidelines and internal protocols for cleanliness and disinfecting throughout our restaurants for the benefit and safety of guests and staff alike. Our team has reviewed, and we encourage everyone to read the information from the CDC. We are actively exploring how to best modify our service model in line with these prevention protocols.
 
Beyond that, we entirely understand that many of you may be disinclined towards dining-in right now. To that end, as of today all Doc’s locations will offer curbside pickup. Call your neighborhood Doc’s and we will bring your order right to your car, as always our full menu will be available for curbside pickup. You may view or download our menu from our website
 
Simply put, we are here to serve you in whatever way suits you best, and we sincerely thank you for your patronage.

Wow!!     Curbside pickup for $25 All-you-can-eat ribs and wings!!!!     

(I know, I'm sure that special is for dine-in only)

If they started running March Madness stuff I would be down.  Start with Greatest First Round Upsets, some classics like the LMU game...then roll through as many final fours & championships as they own.

[Coleman]

It would be cool if they got into televising some taped obscure stuff.....Olympic table tennis or curling. Just give people some different things to watch.

Thank you.   Opened Madison two months ago.  Just getting traction until current events.
