Junior Daughter and I were jonesing for clam-shack fried seafood tonight and
it isn't easy to come by in the Back Bay. Dining In to the rescue! Jasper's Summer Shack is right up the street and we figured fried stuff would get here in pretty good shape. Such a feast! Clam chowder, fried Ipswich clams, skinny fried onion rings, chilled half lobster on a bed of sea salt, and Boston cream pie. And it all walked right through my front door! Anyone else a fan of Dining In? Felice |

Dinner choices are limited to the restaurants in my area that deliver. We don't go into a restaurant and order take out (burritos excepted - but that's a taqueria). More restaurants in the area will do that rather than deliver. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

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". Felice |

Aside from fried foods that get soggy in closed containers, it is nice to be able to get a variety of foods from good restaurants. Probably never happen here. We just got pizza delivery about five years ago so I doubt the concepts will be profitable in our town. |

> Anyone else a fan of Dining In? Is it safe to assume that "Dining In" is one of those companies that takes/picks up your orders from various restaurants and delivers the food to your door? If so, we have something similar over here - but it is (or was) a company called "Mr. Delivery". Used to use them sometimes when we lived in the city - but nobody delivers anything out here to the boonies <g> so we cannot take advantage of it anymore. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

Not every restaurant subscribes to that service, so I've never used it. What is the minimum order for the restaurant you ordered from and their delivery service charge? -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

Where I am, the service is called "2GoBox" and they do the pick up from the restaurants and deliver it for a service charge of about $9 or so. |

Yes, I'm familiar with the concept. As I said, there was a similar service in Memphis some years ago. I don't recall what they called it. They did charge somewhere around $9 or $10 to deliver the food from various restaurants. As I said, it didn't last. Jill |

The minimum order is $25 and the delivery charge is $6.95 (and there's the tip for the delivery person) so it's not something I do on my own! But for two or more it's a good deal. Felice |

Out here a service had like an 100 restaurant service, with the restaurants menus, some items were flagged as, call in advance, like peeking duck. http://content.bored.com/comics/IMAG007d.jpg no peeking duck! Chicken Surprise A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken Surprise". The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening,and demands an explanation. "Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?" The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise." "Ah... so sorry," says the waiter, "I bring you Peeking Duck." http://www.guy-sports.com/virtual/ducks.htm |
