Home Kits
YAFO KITCHEN
As with Sabor’s kits, diners embraced Yafo’s Mediterranean family meal soon after COVID struck. It comes with a whole rotisserie chicken, two of Yafo’s family sides, and a family-size Greek salad. The hardest part is picking out only two of Yafo’s essential sides. If you’re in the mood for some hot accompaniments, the Brussels sprouts and cumin rice are ideal—as well as the Greek yogurt mac and cheese. Cold sides include hummus, quinoa salad, and tomato-cucumber salad. (Important: You can order additional sides at an added cost.) The Chef’s Features, including the Israeli Hot Chicken and the Chicken Schnitzel, can also be ordered to go. —ANDY SMITH

SABOR LATIN STREET GRILL
Sabor was one of the first local restaurants to successfully adjust during the COVID lockdown. The brand’s family meal box—with its different types of tortillas, meats, beans, and dips— deconstructed tacos that wouldn’t otherwise travel well. The most surprising item, however, was Sabor’s DIY arepa and empanada meal kit. Pick two proteins, and the restaurants arm you with rosada sauce, arepa shells, and empanada discs—along with a YouTube video the brand produced that shows a child making the entrees. Watching a youngster pull it off grants confidence to those of us less experienced on the stovetop. —A.S.
