Oh, it's a remarkable operation. They work with hundreds of local
restaurants to take orders, pick up from the restaurants and deliver the
food to your door in insulated containers. I simply order from their website
and then sit back with a glass of wine and wait for dinner to arrive. The
advantage to me is ordering online from just one "clearing house".
