I would most likely subscribe to a service like this. In fact, I was recently working out a deal with my friend where I would pay her to go grocery shopping every other week and cook for me twice a week. So, this is would be perfect. Now, I would still want a few things out of the service:

1. Healthy choices (nutritional info would be phenomenal, though I know it's likely not going to happen with chefs).

2. A way to filter out meals that contain certain ingredients. This is important for people with allergies. Some dishes you can tell, but recipes vary. I hate when I get secretly surprised by a dish was cooked with butter (lactose intolerant).

3. $10 - $12 per meal. When I go out for lunch, I usually try to stick to $10. I could go for $15 for dinner.

4. In Chicago. :P

I don't mind walking, I actually love getting out. I'm mostly concerned about healthy eating.

Some things that might sway me, but aren't deal breakers:

1. Vegetarian options. 2. Variety of size portions. I hate that most American restaurants give me way more food that I want. I feel bad for not eating it and having to pay for it.




Allergies is certainly something we're preparing to deal with. Thanks for confirming it :)

And I agree with your last point, will keep it in mind when I talk to the chefs.
