POV: It’s 7:00 PM on a Tuesday night, and you’re more exhausted than the time you did back-to-back Tracy Anderson. Jake is out of town on a golf trip, and the thought of turning on the oven is literally nauseating. Salmon and cauli rice from Trader Joe's? You’d rather wait in line at Paul’s without a table. After pouring yourself a fat glass of red, you open the UberEats app and start aimlessly scrolling.
Sweetgreen is always the move, but how many times can you have spicy broccoli? You may as well turn into cashew dressing at this point. You laugh, thinking about the time your sister’s coworker told her she was “brave” for indulging in such a caloric dressing.
Overwhelmed by the chaotic abyss of make-your-own bowls and paleo alternatives, you type “what to order for delivery” into Google.
Here is what you found.
