One Illinois couple has taken curbside dining to a whole new level.

With a spare Ford Transit cargo van -- freed up from a nature education business that's stalled amid the pandemic -- Kim and Doug White came up with a unique way to use it to support local restaurants and enjoy a different approach to dining.The Lombard locals took the wheel when the shutdown in their state forced restaurant owners to switch gears and operate for takeout and limited outdoor dining only due to new COVID-19 restrictions.

From there, the Whites created a Facebook and Instagram to share Doug White's professional photos of their delicious meals and help highlight local businesses that are in need of community support.Doug White and his wife Kim at one of their favorite local restaurants, Mission BBQ in Illinois.

What a beautiful idea! I love the kindness and thoughtfulness! There are some wonderful people.

This is very creative. I love it. Too cold now but great idea.

Good job.

More bullshit propaganda brought to you by corporate media. Don't write stories about how stupid it is to make restaurants resort to outdoor dining in the middle of winter or anything sensible, right?
