This is way better than Ramen, pepperoni pizza and Mountain Dew. Bootstrapping never looked so good.

Forget about Ramen.

Indeed! We used to spend $100+ on crappy junk food a week. No we get to have delicious home cooked meal.

I don't see the "Order Delivery" button.

Why can't I signup to pay for this service? My startup is in the area, I would LOVE to be able to pay "fiambreras style" and go pickup food every few days for my team. I'm sure it might get to be a hassle if there are too many people, but maybe just a few? What about a Grubwithus section where you invite others in the community for lunch ($20 /pp - cover the costs of food, profit, and a donation to Blimp?) and talk food or startups? What about sponsored meals by other startups? (I'll commit to sponsoring food for 4-6 one of the days a month)....

Anywho, LOVE this idea - thanks for letting us know about it - this way I'll know what to buy in the supermarket next time I want to eat something different than "Taco Rolls", ramen noodles, and re-heated pork leftovers from Xmas :)

It looks like this would be on the way to reinventing the Indian phenomenon of Dabawalla (basically a city wide infrastructure to deliver home cooked lunches to offices):

Nice dude, my wife cooks for the both of us while we work on bootstrapping our startup. Nothing like a healthy, lovingly made meal.

jpadilla_4• 15 years ago

You got that right! Eating right really helps us keep focused and energized!

you should probably give us some tips on how you landed an awesome catch of a girlfriend like that ;P
