    I actually do this. I try to follow a low-carb diet and it's really easy to follow when you spend a Sunday cooking everything at once, then the rest of the week, reheating from tha…

    I feel for you. Don't do it. Money brings out the worst in people. Arguing is healthy. Just depends on how it comes & what it's over. Obviously, if your relationship deteriorates t…

    Eek, went through the same thing except we did it for a whole year. Skillset or not, sharing core values/beliefs is most important. Because when shit goes south, if you have someon…

    Cool, thanks Jennifer! That was some serious dedication, super admirable. :) One more question, although I've already asked a lot of you. How did you make sure you conceptually und…

    This is super awesome and inspirational. What was the most frustrating experience you had in your 180 day challenge?

    Thanks! Means a lot. It's a good idea - one day, I hope when we're successful, perhaps then writing such findings then may be more meaningful and valuable as learnings for others.

    Delivery is not as heavy as a cost as running the kitchen itself. I think food production is so overlooked in these discussions. The operating cost for a kitchen is insane, labor, …

    Airport terminals where there is only one "cafe"/snack kiosk. I met Sama at one once. He was incredibly humble.

    Isn't one of Gobble's selling point is that it's super cheap? like $10/person? I remember seeing that as their main homepage jumbotron, which seemed to successfully target and reas…

    Would this really be cheaper? It's an awful lot of man hours committed to just one area vs. a centralized one that can dedicate the time/effort/resources accordingly based on needs…
