With frank confusion, I discovered that a Korean place near me offers raw meat as a delivery option on Uber Eats. This is normal enough for a grocery store, but this is a normal ass restaurant that'll sell you sliced pork belly, steak and the like, all raw, alongside relatively standard (and cooked) options.

Why? Is there a market for people who order ingredients for their meals from a restaurant? Having to cook takeout seems to diminish the value proposition, but I can't keep up with the kids these days.

I know people who buy specialty ingredients through restaurants but they don't do it as a delivery through Uber eats.

This usually comes down to buying specialty ingredients that aren't readily available to consumers, or in that particular area.

Sometimes the restaurant actively markets this stuff and sometimes you have to get to know the owner.
