Kelowna residents have ordered Sushi for takeout more than any other food in 2020, according to a report by Skip the Dishes.
Throughout the pandemic, locals have been using Skip the Dishes as a safe alternative to support local businesses.
The people of Kelowna have been quick to show local love to local businesses such as restaurants, especially as new eateries joined the Skip network.
Since the start of this year, Skip has seen a 61 per cent increase in Kelowna based restaurants added to its network. Momo Sushi comes in at number one, while Bluetail Sushi Kitchen and Mad Mango Cafe follow respectively. Further analytics have indicated that sushi, ice cream and tempura have been ordered the most by those living in Kelowna this year.
The city has also been a bit of a trendsetter according to the report. Its top picks are a bit different than national trends, which include Asian dishes, burgers, and pizza as the top three most-ordered items.
