  Family dinner to go - Curbside service driven by desire for convenience beyond fast-food fare   
   
America's constant quest for convenience has driven some of the most popular trends in eating out: the drive-through lane, the Styrofoam container, the to-go counter.

Take all those conveniences, add the cell phone and the Internet, and you have the fastest-growing sector in casual dining: curbside to-go.

"It's a rather great idea," says Holly Lee of Sharonville, whose family takes advantage of the service from time to time. "Eat restaurant style cuisine in your home, without ever leaving the car. Our family likes eating out, but sometimes my young children are too much to handle. It makes it easier on them."

Curbside to-go is a simple concept. You call the restaurant ahead, place your order and tell them the kind of car you're driving. Pull into a designated parking space and your food, packed to go, is brought to you.
