The Daily Grub

The years keep getting bigger and going faster around here. 2011 was no different – full of a lot of amazing, amazing stuff. I can’t thank you enough for all of your support. And because the end of the year is list season, I thought I’d put together a “top 10 GrubHub restaurants of 2011” type thing. Keep these places in mind as we head into 2012.

Howdy folks,
We are currently experiencing a few technical difficulties with Facebook Connect.  To put it simply, it doesn’t work.
We are working tirelessly to resolve this situation and we’ll let you know the minute we do.  In the meantime, it will be best for you to place your order as a guest or to [...]

Hello folks! It feels like yesterday I was here telling you about our 2011 pledge to exponentially expand our services. I even emphasized that with a few exclamation points.
Hopefully you’ve noticed that we’ve been hard at work making good on that pledge - launching in lots of new markets, bringing more restaurant [...]

These days, the word “free” is almost always a letdown. It’s usually a couple extra ounces of shampoo or a miniscule tube of toothpaste shrink-wrapped to that already-more-than-enough tube of toothpaste that you’re dropping into your cart. Let’s just say this – our free beats their free.

Hurricane Irene has gone and done what hurricanes do, and while skies are clear there’s still quite a bit of damage out there. We hope you all survived her wrath and are currently safe at home or work.

Latest East Coast update (as of 4:32pm EST)

The tropical [...]

We hate to do this. In fact, we’ve never done this and we’re more than sorry about it. But here’s the reality – it’s predicted to get pretty dangerous for restaurants and their delivery people (never mind you, our beloved diner) in New York City by sunrise. Therefore, we are shutting down our service [...]

Here’s the latest:
DC*: It’s Windy but restaurants are up and delivering
Philly*: Rain be darned, that pad thai party is still on!
Boston*: Irene, really? Is that all you got?
*expect some obviously extended delivery times
NYC: service is limited in NYC Metro as neighborhoods evacuate. But there are still lots of industrious restaurateurs that are holding on, [...]

It’s no secret that this weekend isn’t going to be even a little fun for those of you on the Eastern seaboard. From the deepest recesses of our small and corporate heart, we want you to do one thing for us: stay safe.

Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do. You know, things like pretending you’re [...]

The humble chicken wing gets jazzed up at these wing-slinging restaurants.
