For 12 bucks a person, I'm sorry, I'm going to the local taqueria, getting my burrito cooked for me, and saving 4 bucks. Forget cooking.

This was my first thought, and it's always my first thought when I read about meal delivery. For $24 my wife and I can go 5 minutes from our house and get good Mexican, Thai or Chinese (and serviceable Italian) made for us and brought to a table, and we get to walk away from the mess.

This service isn't for you. I can see a market for seemingly fresh healthy ingredients for a well portioned meal shipped to the customer's doorstep to be cooked up in 10 minutes on demand during the week.

I can cook a microwave burrito or a ramen package if I chose to much quicker and considerably cheaper than you can get a burrito or chinese takeout. This doesn't mean taquerias are a ridiculous concept.
