Putting "Show HN" on a post such as this is so abusive that it makes me realize that either we or the community need to vet the Show HNs before they go up. Having rules is clearly not enough.

Spoonrocket was wonderful when they first opened in Berkeley. Fairly good quality of meal for $5, delivered in 5 minutes? Awesome. But as they scaled, the quality of the food plummeted to just-above-American-Airlines status, and delivery times soared from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. And they raised their prices, to boot.<p>They used to do steak and mashed potatoes in plastic containers fairly regularly. Now you get a dry meal who&#x27;s moisture content has been totally absorbed by a soggy cardboard container.<p>I went from a huge fan who ordered Spoonrocket multiple times a week to an outspoken critic. Enjoy Spoonrocket when it opens in your market, because it&#x27;ll get really shitty in 3 months.

SpoonRocket&#x27;s food was at first good, then bad, now I think it is good again (though expensive). However, I am unwilling to order it because the vehicles drive recklessly around my very family oriented neighborhood, and I don&#x27;t want to encourage it.

I&#x27;m super unclear on where this food comes from. Do they make it themselves? Do they order from someone else?
