I think the food startup equivalent to Uber would be people preparing meals in private homes/kitchens: There's certainly regulation around commercial kitchens, but it's not obviously bad if a home kitchen is used to prepare a meal: I do that all the time for my friends. But there's a lot of things that can go wrong in a home kitchen too as they don't have a lot of the normal commercial food storage stuff like a blast chiller, so I think that type of startup would definitely invigorate the same kind of regulation fight Uber did.

I was thinking about this recently. A friend of mine started selling cupcakes and made a website to do it. I don't really know what it takes for Little Debbie to get a new product approved but I would assume some regulatory body has to be appeased before they start selling. I can't imagine my friend went through any of that. If anyone knows about the regulations in this area, I'd love to hear. I'll dig around and report back if I find anything of note.

Looks like in 2012 Georgia was "pending." I'm in Atlanta, so there were no regulations in place when my friend started.

I feel inspired to use this line of reasoning to discover what to work on next.
