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. At another local favorite -- Lily's Cafe, where her husband gets his favorite corned beef hash -- Kim White said a server, who saw on Facebook that they had plans to visit, came outside to greet them.A meal inside Doug and Kim White's dining van with full place settings and a candle.

The owner told the couple when they enjoyed their curbside meal,"this is just as good for our soul as it is for yours."

They've been doing this in the Netherlands for months. Good idea but just as dangerous as going to a restaurant.

Awesome!

Hello everyone, the phone holder car product is now on sale. Click on the link and own it to have such a product

it might look cutesy but by putting the other diner's at risk with this stupid stunt they open themselve's up to lawsuit's

They seriously rather eat in their car than at home?

Any news on Hunter?

Great idea .

Following in the footsteps of '*Uck...that's Delicious'.

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?

Now that most movie theaters are closed and Drive-Ins are making a comeback, this would be a good way to watch.

Nah, appears like they are reaching a bit.

I'm amazed people would do this over just taking the food home and eating it

Lol that’s great

Good for them. Of course it's kind of a slap in the face for the millions of people going hungry every day but at least it hasn't affected them.

nice

Or just open restaurants. Some things are worse than death.

I did same with my cat but it didn’t make the news 🙄

Yikes seems like a huge health hazard, no thanks. I’ll be more than happy continuing to order off of AmazonFresh.
