For those who aren’t working at home yet and don’t want to venture out into the public arena for lunch, I would like to offer up Foodheads for delivery. They have been in business for 20 plus
years with a great storefront in a cute craftsman home on 34th street. A predominant part of their business is catering as well. They are a preferred caterer for the University of Texas. Unfortunately, that business just took a big hit. In the spirit of trying to keep small businesses going in the interim, please consider them for breakfast, lunches, or dinners for your staff and office. Their website is http://www.foodheads.com They deliver and the food is amazing. The business is owned by some of the kindest folks I know and yes I am partial. If you don’t have an immediate need but know someone who does, please pass along the info. It would be greatly appreciated.
Excellent read, Positive website, where did u come up with all the information on this posting?
I’ve read a few of the articles on your site now, and I love your style.
King regards,
