This is an incredible logistics challenge, especially insuring the food arrives edible. I wouldn't want to pay $40 for a sandwich to have it show up soggy and falling apart.

Getting the best cheesesteak sandwich in my city might only be an 8/10 compared to a 10/10 one from Campo's Deli, but a frozen and then reheated Campo's Deli cheesesteak might only be 8/10 compared to its fresh version. And ordering fresh local is not only way more convenient and cheaper, but significantly more environmentally friendly. I could pay someone $60/hour to fetch a couple of the best local cheesesteak sandwiches, reimburse them for the food, and still come out ahead with fresh sandwiches when I want them, not two days later.
It's an interesting concept and obviously people are willing to pay for the luxury, convenience, and getting authentic food. I suppose I'm not one of them.
