> - Lastly, what I'm hoping for is the "Airbnb" of food, where regular people could cook meals and sell them to neighbors on a marketplace with reviews, pictures, etc

This is already happening here: https://josephine.com/

It's not legal to do so. You have to be a licensed commercial kitchen to do this stuff.

Just like you need to be a licensed hotel operator to rent out rooms?

I don't believe that there's anything like the FDA that mandates something equivalent to food safety for room rentals.

Usurping city hotelier taxes is one thing, hitting up the state BOH and FDA and asking for forgiveness after not being permitted is another.

That's cool! Have you ever tried them before?

I looked at them once before, and there's nothing super close to where I live (would need to drive to pick it up), but I'd definitely consider using it if there was someone who cooked within walking distance of me.

A friend of mine participates, so I tried some of his pretzels/granola and they were fantastic (and I'm not just saying that because he's a friend). I haven't tried anything else yet, but I've talked to him about the service and he's had a positive experience thus far.
