Washington Perk & Provision Company. Better than a convenience store but not quite a grocery store, in the heart of Washington Park and Downtown WSNC.

Mojito Latin Soul Food is creating scrumptious Cuban-inspired, Latin-infused street/soul food. Welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, robust cigars, and good times await.

Diamondback Grill. A lovely farm-to-fork eatery nestled in the heart of Buena Vista. Murphy and Kimberly Gregg and company offer fine dining in a casual atmosphere complete with a 20′ wine bar, expert craft cocktails, televisions in the bar area to watch the game, or candlelit dinners in the formal dining area. This gem is waiting to be discovered!

Bootleg Ramen Menu and Operations Update

Posted on by

From Josh Trusler, owner of Bootleg Ramen (with edits):

Howdy, y’all!

Menu 2.0
Changed prices, added snowballs, and we’ll have Chrysanthemum Tea boxes for 1$ each.
Sanders Ridge Wine will be available for delivery as well, order through them and we’ll take care of the rest.

Here is a probably finished menu. Little changes but nothing major. Just a little update on us as well.
As many of y’all know, we were the frequent pop up known as Shokunin Ramen. Between the pandemic and a bit of chance, we’ve changed ideas and the name to help reflect that and a little homage to our old selves. The new idea is to bring y’all some homemade Japanese street food. Literally, we’re going to bring it straight to your door and within minutes of easy reheating, you can have some restaurant-at-home style food.

We will be working out of the Sanders Ridge Winery, Cabin, Wedding Venue and Farm, and will be able to deliver their wines as well. Just order wine from their site, and food from ours. It’s almost too easy, y’all. You can browse our site now, just to get a feel, but it will change a bit in the looks department soon for the better.

Easy ordering on the site, or if you have questions you can call us and order that way as well. Orders wanting to be delivered the same day must be placed by 2 pm. We begin deliveries at 3:30 pm, and will usually be done around 6:30. You can still place orders after 2 pm, they will just be placed on next day deliveries. You can also place future orders for up to 30 days out, and bulk orders hold very well in the freezer for long term storage.

Our delivery range, to start, will be:
Winston-Salem areas, Lewisville-Clemmons areas, Rural Hall/East Bend areas, and Kernersville.

We are working on getting Greensboro in our standard area but for now, we can only do bulk orders to Greensboro of at least $75. We can meet in a convenient delivery spot if you’re outside our range.

Sanitation is a big thing with us, so we’re taking extra steps to make sure everything is prepared and delivered in the cleanest way possible. Drivers will be wearing face masks and gloves (changed with every delivery), as well as having hand sanitizer in the vehicle at all times. Contactless Delivery is standard, where the driver will drop food off at the front door (or otherwise specified area) and will not leave until the food is picked up. We will text/call when food is dropped off, and maintain proper social distancing until you get it! We will take cards over the phone or website, but no cash, please. Drivers will not accept cash tips either. Pre and Post sanitizing of vehicles will happen daily to ensure the safest environment for your delivery.

We should be delivering to y’all soon, just need to finish a few important documents and we’ll be set!

And as always,
“Itadakimasu”
