Thread drift! LOL This is where so many places in the U.S. vary. The
only food I've ever been able to have delivered was Papa John's Pizza
when I lived in Memphis.

I take that back. There *was* a delivery service (not associated with
any specific restaurant) in TN and occasionally I'd call to have food
from a Chinese place delivered. Then one day I called and got the
funniest very long recorded message. Something along the lines of "If
you are calling to order from XYZ Chinese, forget it. One of our pickup
people saw their kitchen and said it is disguisting! We will NOT be
delivering any more of their food!" I was like OMG, and I've been
eating this stuff?! They were being *paid* to deliver food and were so
disturbed by what they saw they refused to continue doing business with
them. Wow.

So, when I had a hankering for Chinese I'd stop at a different place on
my way home from work, go in and get take-out. I sure did miss the
convenience of delivery. Here in SC I'm in the sticks. Not even crappy
pizza places will make the drive all the way out here.
