The L.A. Times has an article about restaurants that are now selling groceries along with their menu items in hopes of keeping business afloat. I thought that was brilliant.
But one of the more creative ideas was told to me tonight: a restaurant in Redondo Beach, California gives a free roll of toilet paper with each to go order.
I love this!!

I can't read past the paywall either, but two Italian places are listed in this piece:
Bettolino Kitchen Still open at 211 Palos Verdes Blvd. in Redondo Beach, the new takeout/delivery hours are from 12p.m. 8p.m. If youre short on toilet paper, they even have an offer of adding a 6-pack of toilet paper to your order for $7.50! Theyre even offering 50% off a bottle of wine when you add it to your order.
Lido di Manhattan Located in the Bristol Farms shopping center at 1550 Rosecrans Ave. in Manhattan Beach, Lido di Manhattan is offering up a variety of new promotions during their new hours of 4:30p.m. 8p.m. They have Family Meals for larger (4-6) or smaller families (2-3) or even a Grocery Essentials package complete with eggs, milk, ciabatta bread and a 6-pack of toilet paper! Theyll even come and drop your food directly in your trunk for you!

I may have a warped sense of humor, but that is just perfect.
