Chew on This: Five sports bars offering carryout in the Corridor

In normal times, Chew on This focuses on restaurant openings and closings. These are not normal times, with restaurants ordered to switch to carryout, curbside and delivery. We know these businesses still need support from the community to survive, so each week while this coronavirus crisis lasts, we are going to highlight five businesses and tell you about what they're doing.

These are just a few examples of the many, many places offering these options - please look up your favorite restaurants on Facebook or give them a call to find out what they're offering. You can also find a lot of options on Facebook groups like 'Cedar Rapids, IA Small Business Delivery, Curbside, Take Out,” 'Marion Delivery, Carryout & Curbside,” and 'What's The Special Today?”

If you don't want to leave the house, many delivery services like Chomp, GrubHub and MyTownToGo are currently offering special prices or waiving delivery fees.

This week, we're highlighting sports bars. March Madness may be canceled, but you can still get your burgers, fries, wings and more.
