"Operating out of Allen High School, Blu Community Bistro is a student-run restaurant founded six years ago to give students in the school’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality Services program practical experience; during the coronavirus pandemic it launched Blu@home, a takeout program of student-prepared meals. Each $32 meal serves four, orders are limited to 75 a day, menus change weekly, and the deadline to place an order via the Google doc is 8 a.m. on Mondays for pickup between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. on Fridays at the bistro — orders have been selling out quickly. The kitchen focuses on gourmet dishes cooked with organic ingredients, including a grass-fed Waygu burger and a chocolate chip cookie reportedly adored by Paula Dean." - Brittanie Shey
