Why so many food-related-delivery-service startups around YC? Yall hungry over there on the left coast?

  Actually, it looks like this one only serves Boston...

  It's the pizza delivery business model refresh from the 80's. This time it's catering, a much better likelihood of success than a food truck.

  Well we're in Boston and Cambridge, MA. But in general why is food-tech "booming" more generally, I think it's a couple of things: 1) greater awareness, at least on my social media, about healthy eating, 2) related, a greater desire for full control of your food as people want to measure/ track more and more aspects of their life. Granted Farm Feedery doesn't have menus, but we do tell you exactly what you're getting with detailed ingredients, and finally 3) food is a fun space to work in, it's something that's inherently required for survival and frankly it's a delicious place to work =)
