The Cove in San Antonio is a laundromat, car wash, and restaurant operating from the same building, which either sounds like the most impractical business concept imaginable or the most practical one depending on your perspective. It appeared in Season 4, Episode 6 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Totally Unexpected,” which aired August 18, 2008, and the “totally unexpected” episode title was specifically designed for places like this: a restaurant that surprises you before you even sit down, and then delivers food that makes you forget the car wash is running a few feet away. The Cove is committed to sustainable sourcing, local ingredients, and a menu built around burgers, tacos, and pub fare that connects its food philosophy to its community philosophy.
