ABC Pony, Rasika, Tail Up Goat, and More: Introducing the Resy At Home Hit List

Because if there’s one person who promises to keep takeout interesting, it’s Erik Bruner-Yang. At ABC Pony, the chef changes it up every night, offering a nightly dinner-for-two package that’s run the gamut from grilled lamb chops to a complete Hawaiian dinner (with macaroni salad, of course). Play kitchen god and weigh in on the People’s Choice specials here and find ordering instructions here.

Because you can still enjoy one of DC’s most sensational meals from the comfort of your home. We’re talking about fine-dining gem Rasika, which is offering top-notch chicken tikka masala for pickup right on Resy. So trust in Ashok Bajaj’s genius, and delve into the limited takeout menu from Rasika West End here and Rasika Penn Quarter here.

Because Tail Up Goat’s very own Jon Sybert made it to the James Beard Awards’ final round for best chef in the Mid-Atlantic region, and he’s still deploying his kitchen chops to feed avid guests at home. With the family dinner for one, your choice of smoked brisket or hen of the woods mushrooms comes dripping in black garlic gravy, followed by a bottle of red, sides, something sweet, and a midnight snack for good measure. Order it here.

Because our favorite woman-owned Spanish tapas bar is still up and running, and it’s totally acceptable to throw a tapas party for one. Mola is dishing patata bravas, melt-in-your-mouth slivers of cured ham, and fried goat cheese with orange blossom honey and beet chips. If you’d like to attempt making some of these yourself, get a leg up from Mola’s virtual market. Order it all here.

Because chef Kevin Tien has found a way to make fried chicken travel very well. Enter the Hot Lola’s, a Sichuan-meets-Nashville hot chicken sandwich that’s as good as it gets. Get a side of crispy waffle fries, a pint of campfire marshmallow ice cream, and some of chef Tien’s umami butter infused with the flavors of Korean barbecue (‘cause why not?), and order it for pickup or delivery.

Because Coconut Club has some of its best cocktails bottled up and ready to be poured, from prickly pear margarita to piña colada. And if you need soaking for that booze, there’s a special place in our stomachs for the excellent lobster rolls. Get a lobster roll kit, cocktails, and other Coconut Club staples here.

Because a freshly baked loaf from Ellē is what you’ve been missing in your home. This Mount Pleasant stalwart has kept its ovens dialed up, churning out the likes of chocolate cherry pan loaf and polenta Parmesan sourdough (which will ruin you for any and all sourdoughs, your own included). There are also baguettes, bagels, and brioche buns, so make your crumb intake count and pre-order it all here.

Because delivery-friendly ramen is a concept every noodle shop should get behind. Hatoba is offering its trademark bowls in a deconstructed fashion, ensuring that the noodles remain bouncy and the broth, fresh, with just a little help from your microwave (we’re eyeing the red miso clam ramen and the DIY yakisoba kit). Pro Tip: Add on a free kids’ ramen with the purchase of any main dish, from Monday to Friday. Order for pickup or delivery here, here, and here.

Because do yourself a favor and up your breakfast game. The smoky, decadent fish from Ivy City Smokehouse could save even the stalest of bagels, but fret not, and instead set your eyes on the Smokehouse Fish Board, featuring bagels and signature items (salmon candy, pepper salmon, North Carolina rainbow trout, whitefish salad), with all the fixings. Order here.

Because Primrose is (temporarily) offline, but long live Larry’s Chicken and Cheeseburgers! Only this Brookland mainstay could pivot from Gallic bistro to American takeout wonderland so effortlessly, and the same care and attention that was put into pork cheek au poivre is now devoted to buffalo wings and fried chicken buckets (get a hold of their stellar reserves of natty wine with the 6 Ft. Wine Club). Call in your order at 202-248-4558 between 12 and 4 p.m. and pick it up from 5 to 8 p.m. on the weekdays, and 4 to 8 p.m. on the weekend. More ordering info here.
