Thanks for convincing me to post on here @Chowseeker1999 and @ipsedixit. Happy to see you both again.
Ever since the pandemic started I’ve been getting takeout only, regardless of whether outdoor dining was allowed or not. Since I live in Torrance, I’ve stuck to picking up food in the South Bay and sometimes Long Beach. I’ve also mostly been supporting BIPOC owned restaurants and only small chains/chainlets (but those are things I was doing pre-pandemic as well). I figured I’d make a South Bay takeout thread in case anyone wanted suggestions in this area. I’m not really good with words, like @Chowseeker1999 and others are, so I’ll be sticking to photos.
