The confinement changed our habits in many ways, this is a reality. Even food delivery has taken an interesting turn. Now it is easy to find the great chefs on delivery platforms , as a gourmet option.
More creative, healthier and trendier letters . So, if we want, we can forget about franchise pizza (although it's okay to treat ourselves from time to time) and join the gourmet delivery trend .
I see him future. And you?
Treat yourself: order dinner in a gourmet delivery
Who has called a delivery any Saturday night because they don't feel like stepping into the kitchen?
I think we are all raising our hands, because either we are exhausted and have no time to cook, or we are recharging our batteries and feel like having dinner delivered to our door and all we have to do is get up from the sofa (and that is already an effort). ).
What I want to tell you today, just in case you hadn't considered it, is that there is life beyond the most common options (we all have our most common request, which we always go to).
I suggest that next time, look at more options and make a gourmet order .
This type of service has been around for a long time, but during the confinement the demand skyrocketed, because leaving home to organize an evening at a restaurant was a bit (a lot) complicated for health reasons.
But it is that, in addition to the demand, the supply increased.
Logical, too. Many restaurants and chefs (also the most prestigious ones) had to apply formulas like this to continue with the activity.
And that the delivery was not in the head of many. By prejudice? Maybe, but the truth is that it is (or was) easy to associate it with “junk food”.
Today it is more than clear that adapting to changing times has also opened up new business opportunities for chefs. And as a user I am delighted: now I can not only ask for more, but also ask for better. Win-win.
3 examples of delivery that raise the level (much)
I propose that next weekend, already put to order, that it be a gourmet delivery.
Search well in your area. Now on food delivery platforms you can find Michelin stars.
And even if they don't have a star: renowned chefs, great professionals in the kitchen who now serve at home.
Much more than food at home: delivery has become an experience.
Sergio Sanz, Asian haute cuisine
His project was born precisely during the pandemic and has recently completed a year of life (in May). It is called @homiebysergiosanz and it is presented as "the Asian delivery revolution ".
He is right: he brings traditional dishes with a touch of innovation, made with local products.
Would you like some scallop nigiris today?
And how about this thay gazpacho & tuna sashimi?

Attention to the extra: with each order includes a ticket that gives you access to a Spotify list created by Sergio Sanz, so that your lunch or dinner is a complete experience.
You can decorate the table for a special occasion, dim the lights and leave the music in the background. And if you dress up a bit and complement your look with some simple jewelry, you will have the feeling of being in a luxury restaurant.
Dabiz Muñoz and illustrated Gochismo in your house
GoXo is chef Dabiz Muñoz's home delivery service, and that is his introductory phrase in the Instagram bio.
The project, like others, was born as a result of the quarantine, and although the concept is different from that of the chef's other restaurants, his hyper-creative hand behind the menu is noticeable.
What can you expect if you order at @elgoxo ?
For example, surprise yourself with this recently added fried rice to the menu, with free range chicken egg yolks, Iberian sausage and free range wings with chifa cream. Scrumptious.
And now that the heat is coming, gazpacho of Mexican green tomatillos and jalapeños with lime, or strawberries, tomatoes and smoked chipotle.
By the way, they serve in Madrid and Barcelona.
Roberto Ruiz, god level tacos and quesadillas
After having to close his Punto MX restaurant due to confinement, Roberto Ruiz, the first Mexican to receive a Michelin star in Europe, rethought his business idea and decided to embark on the delivery adventure .
Mexican food loses me, and I salivate seeing the photos posted on @mx_robertoruiz .
Ask for what they call a taco con jardín, a version of the taco with grass and llorona (cilantro and onion). The tacos admit a lot of flavors, you can also assemble it however you want.
And guacamole with tortilla chips, that we never lack.
They also have ceviches, quesadillas, cronchinquetas... And, before closing the order, be sure to look at the beer and margaritas menu.

I don't want to say anything, but this strawberry margarita with Reposado tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur will stick with you until the end of your days.
Do you dare to try any of these proposals? Or any other, of all the gourmet possibilities that have home delivery. So you tell me how it went and I'll make a note for next time.
