Even if you tried really hard, it was almost impossible to get through this pandemic without increased reliance on food delivery (your Friday delivery of a delicious Filet not included). The Land of the Giants podcast which I have recommended before, has just completed a super interesting miniseries of 6 episodes on the food delivery industry — you’ll learn about early movers, shady tactics, cloud kitchens, and why even in 2020, none of the big players made a profit. now. (the overview page is a bit confusing — you can start with the trailer, called «Delivery Wars», or the first episode, «The Cost of Convenience»).

From Weekly Filet #356, in July 2021.
