Have you ever been starving but too busy or lethargic to cook or go out to find food? Or is it family treat night, and you all decide to just get some home delivery and chill out with a movie or two?
Back in the day we would have kept a stash of take-out menus on the fridge that we could have looked at and made an almost instant decision. In most cases, there would have been no more than four, a pizza joint or two, a Chinese or other Asian restaurant, maybe something a little quirky from that hole in the wall you walked past that time. The might have been a fifth if you include that really dodgy place your cousin used to work at.
These days with gig-based delivery services you have access to just about every take-out shop within 10 miles and possibly much further afield than that and that can create a problem.
You’ve gone from deciding between the Margherita Pizza, Kung Pao Chicken, or something from that hamburger joint that had that fire that time but has really killer sauce and that really good chilli, to food from every known culture on every known continent prepared to the recipe from every chef’s grandmother.
Your body is demanding food. Your brain is howling in hunger. It’s payday, and what the hey, why not?
