Our Food Issue

A neighborhood food issue in the midst of a pandemic — inspired or ill-timed?

Our core mission at the Advocate involves supporting neighbors and neighborhood businesses whenever and however we can. Our record isn’t perfect, but every day — online and in our magazines — we do our best to support restaurants, medical and service professionals, and other businesses who depend on the rest of us to keep them in business.

That’s why we’re highlighting these neighborhood favorites at this time and in this way.

These neighbors need our help today more than ever. We hope saluting them today will encourage you to continue shopping, ordering to-go and picking up from them tomorrow and into the future.
