Food delivery was one of the things I remember the most clearly about working in the bay area in the late '90s during the first dot-com. anyone remember Kozmo.

Food delivery was one of the things I remember the most clearly about working in the bay area in the late '90s during the first dot-com. anyone remember Kozmo.com? webvan, etc...? there were so many! So, to me, nothing says "bubble" quite like food delivery companies. In some ways, it really is the perfect thing for silicon valley during boom time. If you are paying three grand a month for a one-bedroom apartment, paying forty bucks for a really good delivered dinner doesn't seem like that big of a deal. The interesting thing to remember about the first wave of food delivery companies is that some of them survived the crash... which is really quite a feat, because a lot of people went from being really wealthy to being... not. But you can still order from waiter.com.
