Diner-at-large tammieetc was stuck at home this week after testing positive for COVID. In this week's edition of TheYearIAteNewYork, what it's like to eat delivery for a week straight
Graphic: Marcus Peabody ➼ A running list of everything I’ve eaten, week eleven: 113. Casa Azul 114. Osakana 115. Peaches Hothouse 116. Ends Meat 117. Taste the Tropics 118. Sunken Harbor Club 119. BKLYN Larder 120. Chuan Tian Xia 121. Lioni Italian Heroes 122. Claro 123. Four & Twenty Blackbirds 124. Hummus Bar 125. Peter Luger 126. Le Paddock
Typically, delivery food is not a category for which I have much fondness. Even beyond the ethical qualms, I simply do not believe in sacrificing quality for convenience. Food is not supposed to sit inside plastic or cardboard for an hour before it is eaten. But since I suddenly had no choice, I figured I might as well make the most of it and see if delivery had gotten significantly better during the pandemic.
Most of my meal experiences were similarly uneven: There was the tub of broth that arrived still frozen and the disassembled pho “kit,” each component of which managed to be the wrong temperature and texture. I ordered four slices of pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, opting for a “baker’s choice,” which meant they chose the flavors for me. The slices arrived swiftly, and in pristine condition, but they weren’t labeled, so I was left to guess which varieties I’d actually received.
The biggest problem is that a great restaurant meal can quickly lift your spirits, and no matter how satisfying those pork cheeks were, I couldn’t ignore the fact that I had been living in the same room for six straight days. I needed some kind of hope, something extravagant to snap me out of my malaise, which is when I decided to say fuck it and order that steak from Peter Luger.
