In the United States, African-American women were the most group most associated with the take-out business at such locations. Though servant-delivered restaurant dishes were the province of the wealthy, this kind of eating on the go was more likely to be part of a laborer’s life. Finding fully cooked meals to go in these locales was not only typical in the United States, but a common practice across the globe as well American soldiers traveling in the Far East in the late 19th and early 20th centuries often wrote of the “ little lunches put up in flat boxes” they purchased on trains in Japan and China. Until the middle of the 20th century, the most common places to find take-out were major transit hubs, like train stations or the intersections of well-traveled highways. Butchers in 14th century Paris would frequently send their wares directly from the butcher’s block to the homes of the city’s well-to-do families, while cohorts of dabbawalla in Mumbai continue to deliver home-cooked lunches to hungry workers across the city as they have since at least the 19th century. And the delicious twin of take-out cuisine, delivery food, has existed for nearly as long and across just as many cultures. The ruins of Pompeii in Italy are filled with thermopolia, “cook-shops” that slung hot foods for hungry Romans in a hurry, while vendors in ancient Aztec markets sold a multitude of tamales to eaters just passing through. In fact, for as long as there have been advanced societies, humans have been buying food to go. But a jaunt through culinary history quickly reveals that there’s nothing new about the concept of take-out.

Whether it’s ordered with a touch on an app, a few clicks on a website or a quick phone call to the neighborhood pizza joint, delivery food can seem like just another modern convenience. That being said, Time Out II has a new chef who previously worked at Little Tuna in Lindenwold, and will be adding their own flair to the menu over time.On any given day in the United States, 6% of the entire country will be eating take-out for one meal or another. Literally there is something for everyone. The menu also features burgers, cheesesteaks, seafood & pasta, wraps & quesadillas, pizzas and a heck of a lot more. I also had Corona Light or two to wash it down. But things will be changing.ĭuring my visit I tried their chicken wings, which were delicious and perfectly cooked, and had a slight garlic flavor. You can see and hear the band, but you don’t feel like you are sitting on top of them!įor the opening the menu is mostly a carryover of what was offered in Barrington… delicious Pub fare. View from the bar area towards the stage. Back at that entrance off the parking lot (and adjacent to the stage are) is another separate room that will be setup for dining and private events. There are more surprises still to come! There is still another dining room which currently isn’t setup for use. The bar seating is close enough to the band are to see and hear all the action, but just far enough away that you can still have a conversation as Sordid Past is rocking out the place to Rock N Roll All Night!Īnd a main thing is… it all looks and feels “fresh”, almost like the entire interior was just constructed. I know that doesn’t make sense how I wrote it. While Time Out II has defined separate areas, they are never really separate. The setup is really interesting… and smart. Makes for a cool effect of being able to see out, but not in.Īlso in this area is a small wedged outdoor patio area, right off the bar.
