wow, this looks good. Will have to try them.

PG, you have to check out gelayo gusto. It's on el camino right after castro st in Mountain View if youre going towards Palo Alto. Best gelato I've ever had and the people that run it are pretty damn cool.

Wow, I've never seen YC fund a direct clone before. I'm not saying that's the case, it just really looks like it to a layperson. Foodoro looks very similar to Foodzie, just better executed (widgets, more shipping options, less cluttered design, easy to use navigation, etc).

But it's so similar that I just can't get over it. And it's not just similar in terms of business model and timing of the startup's launch, but even the home page layout! A big full-width "featured foodmaker" box with a grid of "featured products" right below.

Considering fooddude is aware of other startups from the "several other competitors in this space" comment, I have to ask if this isn't just a blatant rip of Foodzie?

Food Sells and when they make it nice looking, it prolly sells a ton more.

They look dangerously addictive.
