Doug and Kim White of Illinois have missed eating out at restaurants during the coronavirus pandemic so decided to turn their transit van into a makeshift restaurant.

Kim explained how the couple became fed up with ordering take-away meals so decided to take action.

She told WLS-TV: "You can get the take-out. It puts it in a little box, and you bring it home, you're eating out of the box, where's the spirit in that?"

The couple have since been visiting their favourite restaurants and have had food delivered to the van and Kim values the sense of normality it has brought to their lives.

She said: "Eating out for us is that little teeny tiny bit of normalcy."
