Word. Food is a tougher than a lot of other p2p marketplace ideas because of legal FUD.

I am very excited to use Munchery in Portland. Food delivery in general is good in Portland (in terms of selection), but stops early (10PM).

A tweak on this idea is Housefed (http://housefed.com). (Which rather than target professional chefs on the producer side, targets normal folks, and is a bit more social than transactional.)

(Full disclosure: Housefed founder Emile is a buddy.)

SF's recent urban agriculture law (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/04/20/... making it legal for you to sell things you grow in your garden) makes me feel hopeful that the government will generally ease up on making these p2p relationships easier. I see so many rad food startups stepping very gingerly into the marketplace + am rooting for the all.
