Chow Dept. of The Lunch I Wish I’d Had Today
posted by on May 30 at 13:10 PM
In India, where many traditions are being rapidly overturned as a result of globalization, the practice of eating a home-cooked meal for lunch lives on.To achieve that in this sprawling urban amalgamation of an estimated 25 million people, where long commutes by train and bus are routine, Mumbai residents rely on an intricately organized, labor-intensive operation that puts some automated high-tech systems to shame. It manages to deliver tens of thousands of meals to workplaces all over the city with near-clockwork precision.
At the heart of this unusual network is a chain of delivery men called dabbawallas.
Anthony Bourdain featured this system on one of his shows last year, I think. It might still be up on On Demand.
This lunch delivery system was featured on an Amazing Race show a couple seasons back.
I'll remember this the next time I get my nuts in a complete tangle because the interval between Talking Into the Box and Receiving My Hot Bag of Filth in the McDonald's drive-thru was longer than 90 seconds.
No, wait, I'm an American, I won't remember this at all. Now where the fuck is my Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese you minimum wage greasemonkeys?!?
There is an Indian family that started this service as a business down in LA. I wish we had something like that up here.
