A few months ago, my friend told me about an awesome new trend that was happening on Facebook. People were selling homemade food on different Facebook groups. I live in Northern California but I'm sure there are groups all over the country.
The groups are a lot like the Facebook yard sale type groups. Sellers list what foods they have to offer, the prices, and a general location where the food can be picked up. Some sellers offer delivery for a fee much like restaurants that offer delivery. Some buyers will post things they are in search of as well.
The first time I bought something it was this AMAZING banh mi sandwich and tom kha gai soup. What's super amazing is that I actually bought this from a Masterchef contestant, Jill Campbell! I'm VERY into food so this was the highlight of my week. I didn't even know about this until after I ordered and I wanted to tag her on Instagram so other people would know how to find her food.
If you want to join a food group, I would search either your town name or area code and "food" on Facebook or post in your status update and see if any of your friends can refer you to a group. Good luck and I hope this opens up a whole new world of food for you!
