Hungry? Don't move; call Delivery Dudes

I saw this blue and red car the other day parked out on Florida Avenue, as I was taking pictures of it, I noticed that it's a owned by Delivery Dudes, a food delivery service for local restaurants. The Bookstore uses them now to have items delivered from their new expanded kitchen.

There are quite a number of restaurants in Coconut Grove as part of the program. You call or place your order online.

You can do more than just order lunch or dinner, you can send someone a bottle of wine or even use them to shop for groceries for you. Out of milk? Call them.

The fee is $5 for cash and if using a credit card the fee is $7. If they are making more than one stop, each additional stop is $5, so if one of you wants a meal from The Grove Spot and someone else wants a meal from George's in the Grove, the cost is $10 for cash and $12 for credit card payment - plus of course the cost of the meals. And a tip for the driver. So it can get hefty if you use it daily. I'm sure it can get addictive. 

So if you're craving Akashi or Barracuda's delicious fish sandwich or salad or Berries in the Grove's mussels - call 305-570-4411 or click DeliveryDudes.com, you can see the participants at the site.

They have other local neighborhoods in their data base, not just Coconut Grove, including Coral Gables, South Beach and Midtown Miami.

The average delivery time is about 45 minutes, same as ordering a pizza, I suppose. They delivery daily from 11 am to 11 pm except for Sunday, which is 11 am to 10 pm.

This isn't an ad, I just love the concept and have talked about having something like this for years.
