Get Your Easter Meal To Go From These Dallas Restaurants

Whether or not it feels like it, Easter is coming up for those who celebrate it. While big family gatherings or brunch out may be part of your routine, that — and any other habit of normalcy, really — is changed this spring because of the coronavirus.
