Max & Louie’s New York Diner currently has ready-made meals available in several San Antonio-area H-E-B locations.

“We are also working with Rosarios and have had conversations with chef Johnny Hernandez about selling tortillas, chips and other items,” H-E-B spokesperson Julie Bedingfield told KSAT.

The partnership has allowed Max & Louie’s to bring nearly 20 employees back to work, according to co-owner Drew Glick.

“H-E-B contacted me and said they are considering a new project to help a few independent restaurants keep the lights on and bring back employees during this devastating time... Of course, I said yes. It’s worth a try to help as many of our great employees who are struggling without work,” Glick said.

As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, Max & Louie’s had to close and furlough 75 of its employees, according to Glick.

However, thanks to H-E-B’s help, Glick said the restaurant has been able to bring back almost 20 employees so far.

“We are also doing the best we can with our curbside pickup and delivery by Favor,” Glick said.

Glick went live on Facebook Friday to showcase some of the items available at the Alamo Ranch H-E-B including matzo ball soup, french toast and spaghetti with meatballs.

• 15000 San Pedro Avenue (Brook Hollow and 281)
