Grocery updates

Caputo’s

Skip the chaos and confusion of the big box stores and support local at the same time. The picture above is just a selection of the awesome foodie items I snagged from Caputo’s new free delivery service. Yup, free delivery to your door. Indeed the local deli and market are offering a range of new services:

  • Delivery from the deli. $5 delivery charge on any prepared food order. Sandwiches, salads, etc. Caputo’s are promising to delivery within 45 minutes by Caputo’s crew. Not 3rd party vehicles
  • Free shipping on all grocery orders in Utah. No minimum! Deliveries via FedEX or USPS. Order online at www.caputos.com
  • Free curbside. Order online or by phone.
  • Updated kids menu. Over the past year Caputo’s had put a lot of effort into updating their kids offering. In Caputo’s own words: the grilled cheese for example is made with over a silly amount of gooey Vermont white cheddar. It’s damn good even for adults. Why not get lunch for adults and kids delivered?!  https://caputos.com/menu/#cat=kids-menu&loc=5583&map=0

Remember, when you shop at Caputo’s you’re putting cash in the pockets of locals, not big box stores that will ride out this storm regardless. I spoke to owner Matt Caputo and asked him for his thoughts on the current times…

Matt Caputo: Caputo’s and other independently owned specialty stores like Liberty Heights happen to specialize in traditionally preserved foods and we certainly need the support more than Jeff Bezos. Amazon is making record profits.

As an obsessed food geek, one of the ways I measure the greatness of a city is in it’s food scene. I think the reset button is about to be hit on every city’s food scene all across America. The extent to which the social distancing and/or quarantined communities support their local restaurants will determine which cities emerge with thriving food scenes and which see their food professionals, chefs, farmers and local food artisans ruined.

Now more than ever people need to support local. Get lunch or dinner from local restaurants offering deliveries or curbside. Buy a gift card from your favorite local restaurants to use when all this blows over. Maybe instead of buying that cheese from Costco consider something from a local farm at Caputo’s, Harmons, or Liberty Heights.

So far our stock is holding up very well. With a few exceptions our suppliers and logistics are able to continue deliveries as normal. No problems here. Unless things change drastically, you won’t find empty shelves or long lines at Caputo’s. Plenty of beans, pasta, tinned seafood, chocolate, aged cheese, dry salami, pickled vegetables, chocolate, honey, jam, etc. Ya know, things that last for a long time. Sorry, no toilet paper though!

Our blog is packed with old world recipes making full use of pantry items from the Caputo larder. One of my favorite examples is Adri’s (Caputo) most recent article about pasta. As any master sushi chef can tell you, rice is not so simple. Well Italian dry pasta can benefit from the same attention to detail. With all the time people will be spending at home, there is no better time to master my favorite food, bronze-cut, air-dried, two ingredient pasta. Here is a link to Adri’s blog: Pasta: 7 Deadly Sins to Avoid.  

The Store in Holladay now delivering

Another option out there, for shoppers who might be in the at risk group, the Holladay location of The Store is offering a high risk grocery shopping assistance service. Call (801) 2720-1212 (extension 5) with your grocery list. From there Choose pick up or delivery.

PICK UP: Call from the parking lot and we’ll bring your groceries out to you and place them in your trunk.

DELIVERY: The Store can deliver your groceries to your home in the area surrounding the Holladay location.

Shopping at The Store also helps support local doubly – the business is known for stocking breads, ice creams, salsas, and much more from companies based here in Utah; many of which that have had to close their doors. They are able to still produce products for The Store and you can continue to support them by purchasing their products here.

Four Food Groups backs staff

The following press release was sent to us by the Four Foods Group company, a local restaurant franchising company. The release gives details on how their owners and partners will be donating cash to support their employees through this tough time. Here’s the full info:

The Savory Fund restaurant portfolio is adapting well and is confident we will survive this unforeseen challenge and emerge even stronger. Unfortunately, modified operations would normally lead to reduced hours for our employees or outright layoffs. Many of our colleagues in the restaurant industry have already taken drastic steps to reduce costs by letting go far too many dedicated and hardworking employees.

Our family of brands, including the founders of R&R BBQ, Mo’Bettahs Hawaiian, and Swig, have each committed $250,000 to keep doors open, keep 1,400 employees working, and provide good food to the community. Greg Warnock and Andrew K. Smith, managing directors of the Savory Fund, have also committed a matching $250,000 for a total of $1,000,000.

“These funds are earmarked towards current Savory portfolio team members to extend runway and provide security during these difficult times,” stated Greg Warnock. Andrew added, “We commit to keeping our employees engaged whether serving customers, serving each other, or serving the community that has been so good to us. We need to keep working! We can do this while still being socially conscious and by taking extreme safety measures for our employees and guests. We want our employees to continue to have purpose and direction, and this provides some relief during this very uncertain time.”

Shauna Smith, president of Savory’s exclusive value-add and portfolio support team, Four Foods Group, said, “We will keep our team working and delivering meals to those in need. We will be here for the heroes that are working hard in hospitals and other medical facilities, not to mention the employees of essential businesses like Costco, Walmart, and Smith’s. They are all sacrificing to support this fight.”

This $1,000,000 has been allocated, funded and is currently being deployed. Savory and its portfolio of brands are committed to seeing this through and hiring more individuals once this crisis passes to fuel new economic growth. We are all in this together. Join us in our commitment to keep everyone working and emerge even stronger having weathered this storm.
