PHOENIX â It s no secret that restaurants and businesses have struggled throughout the pandemic, but with little to no events or conferences, most people working from home, and, until recently, mostly fan-less sporting events, the foot traffic and lunch crowds that bars, restaurants, and small businesses in downtown Phoenix typically rely on has been stripped for nearly a year.

LAS VEGAS A new delivery service owned by local restaurants plans to launch at the end of April. Kristen Corral, one of the co-owners of the vegan Mexican restaurant Tacotarian, says the new service, a local cooperative dubbed LoCo, will charge restaurants a 15 percent commission, half of what typical third-party delivery apps charge, and pay drivers $15 per hour through commissions and tips. So far, nearly 30 restaurants signed up to be owners of the co-op, including FukuBurger, Cornish Pasty Co., Volcano Grille, and 595 Craft & Kitchen. [EaterWire]
Turning your morning meal low-carb is pretty easy as breakfast usually involves a variety of proteins. Go for bacon and eggs, omelets, vegetables, and cottage cheese. If you’re being really good, go a la carte i.e., “May I order a side of sausage, a side of bacon, and two eggs?” And avoid fruit; the sugar can halt your progress.
But if your first meal must include something soft and chewy, try the high-protein, low-carb bagels and bread from Chompie s. Get them at Chompie s and Sprouts locations. More low-carb, high-protein bread is found via Keto Kitchen Confections. And Mediterra Bakehouse has created a keto-friendly loaf made with King Arthur Baking Keto Wheat Flour high in protein (12 grams per slice) and low in carbs (5 grams per slice) called the Sunny Flax Keto Bread.

Anhelo Restaurant 628 East Adams Street For years, the Silva House operated as the Rose & Crown an English pub and haven for college students till its closing in 2018. By spring 2019, the house became Anhelo Restaurant. This upscale dinner spot with a soft, modern interior is is where pop-up chef Ivan Jacobo is operating in Historic Heritage Square. The menu of contemporary American fare offers Hudson Valley Foie Gras to black truffle gnocchi and scallops, so this may be more of a special occasion place.

Lauren Cusimano Multiple Locations The oven-baked chicken tandoori wings from Cornish Pasty Co. are kind of a blackened dry rub offering from this well-loved pub. The darkened edges of each wing are crispy, and meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the tandoori flavor features a mild kick and a sneaky sweetness. The six or so wings come with cucumber and tomato slices, and a cup of lemon mint yogurt dip, which goes quick.
