Some people are cooking up a storm during the pandemic, and others are having a lot of take-out!
Grubhub has now revealed the most popular foods ordered through their delivery service between March 16th and April 16th—a time when many Americans were social-distancing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. The data was calculated in comparison with the period three weeks prior, before the global outbreak of the virus was declared a national emergency.
Grubhub says that breakfast dishes were most in demand, and sales of following items increased most significantly: sausage, egg and cheese croissants (316%); brisket burgers (144%); sausage, egg and cheese biscuits (136%); chicken Caesar salad (125%); and donuts (112%.) They also offered data by U.S. region. In the Northeast, deliveries for Mac and cheese increased 216 percent, while in the Midwest orders for sausage, egg, and cheese burritos increased 250 percent.
In the South, deliveries for burrito bowls increased 298 percent, and in the West orders for sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits increased 205 percent.
