> I had to solve this problem another way. I posted an ad on Craigslist see if any chef would make me a home cooked meal for $8 a plate. I got 70 responses in 24 hours. I thought “Wow! There are so many people in the Bay Area that are proud of their food and want to earn a living from it.”
I wonder how many thought less "I am proud of my food and want to make a living from it", but rather, "I have a stove and a cast iron pan, I'm no more likely to fuck this up than anyone else, and I need that $8 so I can eat something this weekend."
Also "Well actually I'm cooking [x] for 3 people already, making enough for 4 in exchange for that covering a good chunk of my ingredients is an excellent deal"
