After over a month of “soft opening”, The Big Kitchen, by the people behind Tazza Kitchen, opened its garage doors for drive-in service. The concept is killer— pop on their website, order away from their local-centric, scratch-made menu and then scoot through their drive-around garage bay to pick up your meal(s). The idea is seamless dining from online to car pick-up to reheat. The spaghetti and meatballs are super solid and the crab cake. Don’t forget your adult libations — though due to Virginia ABC Laws (and good general safety), you do have to get out of the car for those.
