It's becoming harder and harder to justify going out to eat these days, and as a result, we're relying on food delivery services to bring us our favorite meals. We'd be lying if we said our favorite meals don't come from local restaurants, which need our business now more than ever. Uber Eats is offering free delivery when you order from local Austin restaurants —and they are doing the same in many other cities across the globe. If you have an Uber Eats account, you likely received an email informing you of their EAT LOCAL deal going on right now. The deal could be going on for some time, but we recommend you take advantage of it for as long as you can. It's not common to come across free delivery for so many restaurants, let alone the super tasty local ones! Austin is a city that's known for having many delicious, local restaurants to eat from. When you visit the Uber Eats website or app, keep an eye out for the EAT LOCAL banner that'll tell you exactly which restaurants are participating. If you don't live in Austin, we still recommend giving the deal a shot because it's certainly not limited to one city.

They're working harder than ever these days and are still making their necessary trips across the city to make a living, as are many other people.
