Hey Cola. Jess here. ✌️
I don’t know about y’all but I am hungry for a meal that doesn’t come out of my own kitchen. I am craving a tasty treat that will save me from another round of dishes. I just want a serving of a savory snack to take me away ~mentally, at least~ from the same old, same old.
Restaurants have been getting creative for ways to serve guests safely since reopening. Some have even created new patio seating options to not only serve Soda Citizens but help keep customers and their staff safe + healthy.
