Here I present to you a smackdown of home delivery food services. Disclaimer: I have tried both Dishalicious and Eating Good only once each.
Dishalicious is a division of Spoon & Co. Catering, and Eating Good is the home-run operation of Melissa Good (ha).
Dishalicious
Ordering: online. Super easy.
Delivery: to my house, in a cooler. No scheduling necessary.
Food: Delicious. I had free-range brisket in a wine sauce with a smattering of potatoes, plus cauliflower “couscous” and sauteed greens. Everything tasted great, was really well seasoned, and the cauliflower couscous was just crumbled cauliflower made to imitate couscous–so smart, so healthy! They use local farms and dairies whenever possible–love it.
Cost: $32 for entree and 2 sides–dinner for 2, which means $16/person.
Biggest Pro: Taste is excellent.
Biggest Con: They don’t always offer whole wheat or whole grain options.
Eating Good
Ordering: email. Easy enough.
Delivery: to my house, but I had to leave out a cooler or ensure that someone would be home. Additionally, I had to pay $1 for each container that my food was delivered in. These are reusable, but if you never use the service again, you just paid $1 for the really cheap bad tupperware that never closes all the way.
Food: Made for calorie-cutting, portions are small and good, but not great.
Cost: $11.50 for salmon and tiny salad–small lunch for 1 person.
Biggest Pro: Healthy
Biggest Con: Still hungry
Smackdown: By ordering selectively from Dishalicious, you can get healthy foods that are super-tasty!
