Housefed is a new Sil(ly) Valley based startup in the area of food. Looks interesting.
Excerpt from the TechCrunch link below, saying what it is about:
[ Housefed is a service for people to eat homecooked meals with others at the cook's home, whether in the city you live or while on the road. (Tip: Hunt for the Housefed blog, it counters much of the Silicon Valley groupthink.) ]
BTW, on a first scan of the Housefed tumblog, I'm not so sure I agree with that last statement above - i.e. "counters SV groupthink" - some of the blog posts seems to me like more of the same (groupthink), at least to some extent. But regardless of that, the startup's core concept sounds innovative.

(*) The title of my post is a reference to that term used on signboards outside Indian restaurants that serve traditional Indian "thali"-type meals (simple, not the elaborate kind with twenty-odd different items, those are a different and more expensive category). The simple thalis are also called "rice plates", and the signboard often says 'rice plate is ready' :) They are also called "meals" - e.g. - veg(etarian) meals (the default), chicken meals, mutton meals, etc. I saw more than one use of the word "meals" on the Housefed tumblog, so titled the post (indirectly) based on that.
Here are some hits from a Google search for "rice plate is ready":
Above link also has a reference to "Quick Gun Murugun" and "Rice Plate Reddy" :)
