In addition to our normal news coverage, What Now Atlanta is tracking ways Atlanta’s businesses are adapting to the novel coronavirus and the challenges it brings to brick-and-mortars.
FINA at Wild Heaven is joining Grindhouse Killer Burgers and Farm Burger in the DIY food kit game with the launch of its “Happy at Home Beer and Taco Kits.”
For $27, Atlantans sheltering in place can satisfy taco cravings with a kit that includes four tacos (choice of Tinga, Gringo, Barbacoa, Carnitas or Fried Mushrooms), charros beans, and chips and salsa.
Naturally, Wild Heaven recommends pairing tacos from FINA with one (or two or three) of its beers.
“Our new Fauci Spring paired with mushroom and carnitas tacos” is the pairing du jour.
“The fruity/earthiness of the beer pairs well with the richness of the pork and fried mushrooms.”
The kits are available for pick-up or delivery.
Burgers more your thing?
Grindhouse is offering a “Grind At Home” kit and Farm Burger is doing a “Backyard Cookout Kit.”

You have to respect Ford Fry for demonstrating concern for his staff and patrons, and for his transparency. This makes me more willing to eat at Little Rey as I know the staff is taking the virus seriously. I wish all businesses were taking these measures. The lack of care is just contributing the increased community spread.
I agree.
He and the other businesses that have taken the same approach have sacrificed quite a bit by
shutting down/disinfecting etc.
And given that there’s no law requiring these businesses to shut down, or go public, it’s quite admirable.
Completely agree. I’m much more likely to dine at LR or any of FF’s restaurants knowing that he’s not going to compromise his customer’s safety. It’s good policy and good business. When I found out that a steakhouse I like(d) eating at had multiple employees test positive and didn’t shut down or make it public, I immediately swore off this restaurant and don’t trust that they’ll place safety over profits.
