Dishes from dim sum favorite Kim Son and Burns Original BBQ arrive this week
On the heels of news that HEB would partner with local restaurants to bring their most popular dishes to grocery store shelves, Kroger is piloting a similar initiative with two beloved Houston eateries.
Starting this week, Houstonians can score single-serving dishes from dim sum favorite Kim Son at two of the grocery giant’s stores in Houston, according to KHOU. Burns Original BBQ, which was featured on the Houston episode of Anthony Bourdain’s TV show Parts Unknown in 2016, will also participate in the program, selling its pre-smoked brisket, sausage, and ribs at Kroger.
“This is a pilot program spearheaded by Kroger to help support community businesses during this unique time, with all sales going directly to the local business,” a post to Kim Son’s Facebook page reads.
As reported previously by Eater, chef Chris Shepherd teamed up with HEB to bring “take and bake” meals like bacon sausage tater tot casserole to grocery store shelves, touting it as a way for independent restaurants to stay alive while their dining rooms are closed during the coronavirus pandemic. Cherry Block Craft Butcher and Kitchen is also selling some of its dishes via HEB, as is Brennan’s of Houston.
