As most anyone in Rutherford County knows by now, a state of emergency has been declared starting tomorrow (March 23) at midnight.

Way we figure, why wait? It’s not worth the risk to our community.

Effective immediately, our dining room is closed indefinitely.

Having said that, the massive uptick in our carryout business over the last several days suggests that we might just be able to weather this storm. Only time will tell.

And all we can do is try, so that’s what we’ll do.

Our restaurant will remain open for as long as possible by serving takeout exclusively. We already have many ideas [e.g. frozen pastas] that we will roll out over the next few days and weeks (hopefully) as this very fluid, volatile, serious situation develops across our city, state, nation, and globe.

Stay tuned for more specific updates in the very near future as we continue to brainstorm new ways to keep delivering delicious food to our customers. (We all gotta eat, right?)

Hang in there, Murfreesboro. We love you.

Gratefully yours, always,

The Sauce Crew
