H-E-B sells meals from local restaurants amid COVID-19 pandemic

With the foodservice sector hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, Texas grocer H-E-B is helping out local restaurants by selling their meals in its stores.

Under a pilot program, H-E-B is carrying ready-made meals from five restaurants at 29 supermarkets in San Antonio, Houston and Austin. All proceeds from the sales of the chef-prepared meals will go directly to the restaurants, the San Antonio-based grocery chain said.

In Houston, H-E-B is selling dishes from Underbelly Hospitality, owned by award-winning chef Chris Shepherd, at 10 stores.
