Hungry? What’s new from Tri-Cities restaurants and bakeries
Some Tri-Cities restaurants are reopening for takeout and others have switched to finding ways to still serve you and keep people safe.
Here are a few new choices:
Hot Mess Burgers and Fries
The specialty of Hot Mess Burgers and Fries is just as it sounds. Big burgers in homemade buns that drip with toppings you won’t want to eat without a jumbo stack of napkins.
It’s current takeout menu includes Classic Mess, the Hot Mess with grilled jalapenos, the Pyschobilly King with fried plantains, bacon and Thai peanut sauce and Beach Party Invasion Burger with pineapple and crispy onion straws.
All burgers come with fries but you can add extras like fries smothered in spicy peanut sauce or grilled corn with cotija and siracha.
To feed a crowd of 10 you can special order the “Ultimate Monster Mess” — a meal for $75 of three pounds of beef, two pounds of crispy chicken and full head of lettuce and more burger toppings to match along with five pounds of fries.
Hot mess operates out of the Red Mountain Kitchen at 212 W. Kennewick Ave., in Kennewick. It is open for orders from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday via messenger on its Facebook page or on the Doordash app for pickup and delivery. Any changes to hours are posted on the Facebook page.

Choose from burgers called the “Wake Up,” Tennessee Whiskey” or the plant-based “Beyond Burger.”
The Southern classic chicken and waffles, Cubano sandwhich or a bacon-wrapped smoked sausage also offer a full meal. All come with fries or salad. But if you want fries with an oompf, you can get loaded fries off the starter menu.
An ahi poke bowl or a vegetarian protein bowl gives a healthy balance.
