Deliver Me With Some Take Out
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This past weekend had me nursing a head cold and a bad case of the mean reds (that’s a big case of the blues, for those of you who don’t read Truman Capote). The last thing on earth I wanted to do was go out to eat (though I rallied for my mother’s 82nd birthday at Watershed, where the vegetable plate and all its wonder — field peas, creamed corn, fried okra and butterbeans — made the hurt stop hurting for at least as long as it took to butter my cornbread).
It’s nights like these when take out is the next best thing to an alternative fuel source. (Believe it or not, I’ve gotten Watershed’s veggie platter to go). But the best take out when you don’t want to have to face the rest of the world is the kind that comes to you — the delivery man.
Almost everywhere has great take out, but not all of them deliver (even some pizza joints can’t make a profit margin from delivery, so they don’t). Who do you rely on when you don’t want to get out your pjs and off the couch?
