I've thrown food away from an actual "restaurant" because it was so nasty. Just because it's made in a commercial kitchen doesn't mean it's properly cooked.
You are right! However the difference has to do with licensing, a commercial kitchen has to pass yearly inspections, they go through managing/renewing rigorous and expensive licenses and fees every year as well as training and liability insurance. A home has NONE of that. If you get sick your SOL !! At least with a restaurant you can sue the place lol
That's not the point. At a person's house, they don't have to abide by sanitary rules. No license, no liability. ..you are own your own if ya tails get really sick. This ninja may have had roaches, dogs, etc all in that kitchen... or just a nasty house period!
Someone needs to make an app just for home chefs to post their food offerings. I don’t want to pay the overpriced fees of Doordash or Uber Eats anyways
Right and then you get sick, end up in the hospital and take the homeowner to court to pay for medical bills because they have no liability. There would be people out there actually looking to sue
@@jonnyfendi2003 What happens if you get food poisoning from a restaurant tho? Isn’t it the same thing? If it becomes big there will be regulations put in place. The same things that can come out of a home kitchen can come out of an commercial kitchen, good and bad.
@@ShanaLawson So, the thing is…if you’re a solid business, you’ve got a solid location, you’ve got paperwork and paper trails and it’s easy to keep track of you and your restaurant. When you’re just somebody cooking out of a random kitchen AND YOU’VE GOT NO INSPECTIONS, NO PAPER WORK, NO SOLID FIXED LOCATION, someone gets sick, you can just pick up and move kitchens and keep doing the same thing that got other people sick. And people can die. Outbreaks of food borne illnesses can happen. Salmonella, hemorrhagic infections of e.coli, toxin producing bacteria that can land you in the hospital or the morgue. ENTIRELY preventable with a health department breathing down your neck and tracking cases that come from your restaurant. Impossible to avoid if everyone is allowed to cook out of their kitchen and just sell the food to people whenever. I mean, if you want to take that chance…you’re welcome. I’m sure there are some home chefs who know what they’re doing but I wouldn’t want an entire unregulated industry to pop up cause then that’s just…oof.
@@MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor There’s plenty of at home businesses. We just need those kitchens inspected like the commercial ones. Most of the time home kitchens are cleaner than commercial ones during working hours.
I'm so happy about all the positive comments! I'm a chef, mostly catering experience. The pandemic ruined my income. I'm also a home caretaker for my elderly mother, with my sister. I mailed out flyers for catered meals etc. Trying to get drop off service for people in my closet community. I had to find a way to make money! I promise, my kitchen is spotless! My refrigeration has temperature gauges. I wear gloves! My hair is up, and under my cap etc! I feel so awesome knowing so many support it. Thanks 👍🙏❤️
tisk tisk tisk youre a pro and you stoop to this level , you got pets, do you sanitize, when was your last health inspection for resturant, does the city know about your set up..lawd hope you dont kill any 1..
@@acerolland4655 Chefs have food safety education. Good ones keep an impeccable kitchen. My brother is a Michelin-starred cook and if he catered his own take-away food I guarantee you it'll be safe.
I used to buy food from my Hispanic friends mom from her home. It was safe enough for her family and therefore it's safe enough for me. Many restaurants are extremely unsanitary.
I worked at Restruants and they are the dirtiest things. The owner always know when inspection coming and always ask us to deep clean only that time after that f it
@@baba10ye I mean it's virtually impossible not to have roaches in any business in NYC for sure. Any major city for that fact. This guy was just being a stickler and unless the customers were being charged an outrageous price it shouldn't be considered a crime. Maybe invite the health inspectors in for a dinner and let it be that.
My Hispanic mother in law sold food like this for a long time, mostly to hispanic bachelors who worked a lot and didn't really know how to cook. It wasn't 3 meals a day, just dinner but she'd always send them enough that they'd have leftovers to take with them for lunch the next day. Her food is friggin delicious. She actually has a small restaurant now.
"Some random guy let out his mr smith and shut down a random guy he didnt trust" Thanks guy, you saved me from a non threat. Now ill never get potentially sick. And instead i can get sick from taco bell like im suppose to
And this delivery driver douche is all concerned about his pickup wearing sandals, never minding when he goes to a brick and mortar restaurant the industry is filled with drunks and drug users and low lever weed dealers (who probably also wear sandals)
Lol and they were too lazy to bring it outside for him? If they were proactive and called the driver and told him to wait outside then they probably could've avoided all this.
It feels like society is moving towards snitches being a "good thing", like the Debbie Do-gooders going around fussing at people without masks on. He ratted him out for 30 seconds of fame aka attention.
@@godswarrior2952 bruh you clearly not from the streets using the word snitch in this situation is irrelevant. Dont fuck with peoples food it's simple.
This is called a man making a living. I will definitely buy from this guy. Home cooked meals are way better and healthier than any restaurant in the country. If you don’t believe me then you never worked in one.
I have never worked in a restaurant but did work remodeling one, and what we found in that kitchen was nasty and horrendous. You can tell pieces of meat had been wedged in places for maybe years. There were cockroaches and fat stains so strongly stuck that we had to replace several units.
As a former apartment property manager, I can tell you that this happens way more often than you might think. I managed rental properties for 5 years, and found several rental units in that time that were running catering businesses and/or food truck businesses using their private home kitchens. One tenant had a barbecue business and had a meat smoker going 24/7 on his private patio attached to his apartment. The vegetarian tenants complained about the constant smell of meat cooking. It's hard to be sneaky when you run a barbecue business, LOL!
I'm loving all the comments like "here's an anecdote about a thing that happened ONE time, therefore I am an expert about an entire industry and how it's regulated" LOL. Enjoy E coli.
Good grief, I've bought BBQ plates from a neighbor laid off at the beginning of covid. I'll always support hard working people selling in the black market. Our govt gets about 40% of our income already; screw them, they don't need any more than that.
@@wintersantiago2274 Uber has already agreed to allow the hosting of Ghost Kitchen's from your home. It's licensed, and regulated. People are just upset that we have opportunities now. Just like for years the clowns who called youtube "not real" jobs or entertainment. just like they called artists "just soundcloud rappers". Just like they call tiktok now "not real job". just like they call Bitcoin a fad. its all hating mfs who cant be happy for new opportunities
Its illegal soo.. The person buying also doesn't know its coming from a house. We all have opinions, you dont even get to decide if that's ok or not if they don't advertise it. I'd be happy to buy from a neighbour otherwise, bec ik what I'm getting into.
Yes. The American dream of collecting gov. welfare, foodstamps, free cell phones and cell service and running a cash, tax free business from the comfort of your govt subsidized home. Welcome to the USA.
Thanks Karen! Snitching on a home kitchen who’s food is probably really tasty and cleaner than most of these commercial restaurants out there. What a hater!
This can’t be legal…. Coming from an Uber driver… Uber, the company that completely flaunted all transportation regulations, while local governments looked away, to get their start…
San Diego just passed a law to allow this , you have to have all the same passing permits and liability insurance that full scale brick and mortars businesses have. My kitchen is more sanitary than the mcDonald’s people eat every day, fact.
Very true , my friends son was working the fryer the other night at a McDonalds in Kingston Ontario Canada and a mouse actually ran right under his foot . The fact that the mice have no fear and are running around a busy kitchen while the restaurant is open is just wild . I was stunned when he told us the story after work that night .
My kitchen too but not everyone is clean, ppl with pets, without the rule of washing their hands after using the restroom etc. Inside other people's homes there's no way to tell.
"you don't mess with people's food" you literally just messed up someone's life. I have a uncle who used to cook out of his home and sell it until he made enough to buy a food truck. Some people need to get a headstart on life man. It's pretty sad how this turned out for the small business owner.
This Uber Eats driver should try working in a restaurant and see the sort of stuff that goes on in a restaurant kitchen before he makes ridiculous assumptions about people cooking food in their homes.
Alot of restaurants don't even know its an uber, Doordash, grub hub order. Some just get a notification stating it's a mobile order. Uber eats don't care enough to do stuff like this. Sometimes they even add restaurants who don't even want to be apart of the delivery service. Almost all the restaurants in my area say it just shows up as a mobile order.
@@JustMamba when an order goes to a restaurant from a third party delivery service, it says “DoorDash” or “Uber eats” etc. on the receipt so yes, they do know it’s a delivery order.
I've worked in several industries, including food service and pest control. After working in Pest Control for two years, servicing many food service establishments... you have no clue as to who's preparing your food, what's been crawling on your food, or what may have been added intentionally or on accident; the things I've seen! I rarely eat out. And, after having worked in food service for a few years, I have no faith in inspectors, seen them ignore blatant violations which were a legitimate health issue, also seen them harass a person who had one of the cleanest establishments I've ever been in.
You’re strange. If I order food from a restaurant but it’s not made from that restaurant and instead made by some random person I didn’t order from, that’s a giant NO GO. This issue isn’t about regulations, it’s about false advertising.
Yep, a sad little sniveling snitch going so low as to comment on the guy's footwear. Did you see him wearing a mask by himself in his car ? How very virtuous.
People have been selling meals forever. Restaurants however, regardless of "safety regulations", have repeatedly been exposed for unsanitary conditions, inadequate pest control, and sub par / poor quality ingredients. Before I pass judgement, I'd like to know how many people ACTUALLY got sick or were disatisfied with the "home cooked food". Lord knows most REAL restaurants can't seem to get ANYTHING right these days.... except for the price increases. 😂😂😂
@@vincentmontgomery9770 Yeah.. we need another government agency to financially support to oversite someone cooking food in their home and selling it to some willing buyer. Please don't breed.
I WOULD EAT A MEAL PREPARED IN A "HOME KITCHEN" , ESPECIALLY IF I SAW IT WAS CLEAN. MY FRIEND SELLS PLATES OF SOUL FOOD FROM HER HOUSE, AND HER KITCHEN IS METICULOUS! EVERYTHING FRESH, BEAUTIFULLY PACKED, PERFECTLY COOKED! SHE CAN BARELY KEEP UP WITH ORDERS! WE KEEP BUSINESS IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD!
" IF I SAW IT WAS CLEAN" Because you see it's clean, doesn't mean it's clean. There are food safety classes (temperatures of food, how long they can be out, freezing/refreezing food, etc.) all sorts of things that you can't see. That's great for your friend and I'm sure her kitchen is spotless, but that doesn't mean it will meet health codes.
Honestly you got to be careful about selling food from home because if the wrong person finds out then it's over. There was a guy I knew who used to make pizza in NYC and we would order pizza from him all the time. Certain people with big mouths put a stop to all that. And it really helped him have some extra money outside of his regular job.
This guy needs to get a life! I’d eat out of someone’s kitchen before a restaurant any day. The behind the scenes at most of these restaurants is deplorable. There’s always that “one”
His Uber job driving his own car replaced someone's licensed taxi job. Does he have a food heater in the car? I used to deliver Meals on Wheels, and the ice chests had boards with hot stones in the bottom. Kept food safe.
@@thedreamisreal The usual amount of time it takes an Uber eats driver to get from a restaurant to somebody’s home is around 30-45 minutes. Food won’t go rancid or be in the danger zone long enough to cause any serious harm.
When I went to cooking school, the entire first semester was just about food safety. There are rules for a reason. If you aren't careful, you can really hurt someone.
We all have to start somewhere. This is how a lot of restaurants get started. If you are a cook cater, we all have done this and are still doing it I know I do
What a Karen, I'm a delivery driver and I seen nasty shit from the trusted restaurants, why would he assume they doing something wrong to the customer food?
I'm a cook. You cannot maintain food safety standards in a home kitchen. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Let me flip the question: why would you assume they even know basic food safety standards? You have to have training and experience to get hired at a restaurant.
@@zammmerjammer i'm an executive chef. we hire people without experience often, and one of them is now my sous after 5 years. it's laughable that you believe a home kitchen is somehow unable to maintain cooking standards. if everything is temp'd, sanitized, prep'd and cooked properly..that is the only cooking standards necessary. how is a home kitchen unable to accommodate those standards? are you saying that your cooking is so bad that you get people sick often when you cook out of your own kitchen? this was a foolish comment. let people make their money. times is already hard enough.
@@blackstallion702 haha yep. thats why I dont mind people with little or no experience. don't have to break their bad habits and they usually are very thankful to even be in a fine dining kitchen at all and are eager to learn
@@KumoGoesFast ya I’ve been cooking for years and already have my habits, last place I was a pasta cook and had my chef training me his ways. Would always get mad cuz I was used to working how I was used to and not the way they wanted. Would constantly get yelled at lol

ORIGINAL Uber driver here since 2014, do you know how many times I've picked up from a home restaurant here in Atlanta. As long as it's clean let ppl get their money. 😡 Times are tough!!!! There's a "home restaurant" I pick up from a lot here. And it has over 300 5 star ratings! The food smells great and they are more professional than some traditional places I pick up from. Stop knocking people's hustle!!!!
Since it's so wonderful, they can open up a real legitimate storefront. With permits and training and industrial equipment. Like a real restaurant has...
@@michaell1603 the whole point of them doing it is lack of money and or resources (credit for loans , time, can't wait for profit due to bills etc etc) so how are they supposed to do that? THREE TIMES I've been to the hospital for food poisoning. One time they kept me 3 days I was so ill!! ALL from eating in traditional restaurants. ....
@@michaell1603 replies with stupid little laughing faces when nothing is funny scream either 15 or "slow". Immature and unable to debate points properly
I'm so happy to see that most people in the comments understands the situation of the home owner, because in this pandemic, some people do cook foods at home to sell, mostly to people they know and it gets around via word of mouth, which means, it must tastes really good. I do appreciate the driver's concern, but I wonder does he inspect the restaurants that people order food from as well? I guess not. And if his concern is "cleanliness", most people keeps their homes clean, so there is a better chance that the food cooked at home is a lot cleaner and safer than that from a restaurant.
I have walked out of too many restaurants where employees were doing other things and then go back to a make line without washing their hands. 3 subways…very common in subways, I had to tell a guy that just finished mopping, he grabbed food gloves, didn’t even bother washing his hands, first your nasty ass hands already contaminated the gloves, I just left.
I’ve worked in a few food places I’d trust a random person at their home preparing my food more than commercial kitchens. Also those “health inspections” happen like once every 6 months, and we were usually told about it and had to do more cleaning than usual the night prior.
People sell food on social media all the time. Seems like this person found a smart way to promote and sell his food on Uber eats which isn’t seen often. We’re the customers aware the food was prepared in a home? If they were ok with it what was the problem.
I think the Uber eats driver overstepped because he didn't know if that person was licensed or sanctioned to be running a business out of his home. People on businesses out of their home all the time. That includes candy apples, and other food items. I am sure that owner and the people who ordered food from him knew where the food was coming from.
@@malissabirden5829 I doubt they were licensed since they were ordered to be shut down. And I doubt the customers knew they were getting their food from someone cooking in their pajamas. I think the guy cooking the food could've showed a little professionalism by wearing something more work appropriate 👨🍳, maybe then the driver wouldn't have said anything? Uber eats doesn't tell you that you're getting your food from someone wearing flip flops I think.
Yup. I see food sold on Facebook. My buddy ordered Mexican food for Super Bowl this past weekend. Awesome burritos, tacos, tamales, flan, and horcata. All from a little old lady's kitchen. Plenty of love went into that food!
This! It’s actually laughable. I’m not sure what it costs to have employees go through that, but that’s what he’s concerned with, the COST. He had to pay to get everyone certified and the thought that someone else did make him mad
I went to culinary school and the serve safe cert isnt that hard to pass.. Passing the test AND having food safety classes I still saw people in my class with nasty habits when it came to running the actual cafe on campus. People could drop shit from the equipment room like utensils, spatulas, ladles and pick it up and put it right back in the storage bins.. fucking nasty asses
If the average patron saw what really goes on in a kitchen, NO ONE WOULD EAT IN THE DINING ROOM! Tip= if the bathroom is clean, the kitchen is usually clean. On a different note, every time you turn on the news, you find a personality on a different channel
"Probably" -- based on what, exactly? The place that is illegal and has never seen a health inspector, or needed a resume with training and experience to be hired in the first place? Yeah, that makes sense.
That delivery driver is something else. Some people just love to make a fuss about things that noone needs to fuss about. I hope he feels happy taking food off somebody's table. Do you know how nasty some restaurants are?
@@mattk8810 You're horribly mistaken if you think most restaurants know safety and when they do, some don't even practice those safety measures. Have seen kitchen nightmares? If you haven't, I can tell you I have literally seen chicken being picked up off the floor and being put back to be served. I have seen a girl put her finger in a customer's soup to test if it was warm enough. I snapped at her about it and I wasn't liked after that. I have also seen a chef, clean the bugger from his nose while making dough, wipe his finger in his apron and as he was about to put said hand back in the dough, I screamed at him to go wash his hands.
In most places it is NOT illegal to sell food from your house, but you’ll probably need a license. I live in the New Orleans region and I’ll tell you, New Orleans restaurants are rat infested and mostly visited by tourists because we know better. The Uber driver is a dick, imagine yellow cabs calling enforcement because he’s an Uber driver and looks “suspicious”. All he needed to do was let Uber know.
YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS IN ANY OF THE FOOD REGARDLESS, UNLESS "YOU" COOK IT. WHETHER COOKED IN A HOME OR RESTAURANT THE COOK(S) IS THE QUESTION AT HAND.
In these Times a hustle is a hustle. You have Churches and other places selling plates prepared in other People's Kitchens with no questions asked. This is all about Regulations and Taxes. There's no Freedom if the Iron Hand has his hand in the pot. The Uber Driver was very petty. It was not none of his Business
Soon everyone will be side hustling to avoid paying taxes! Does make it unfair if some don't turn in but you work at a company and get 25% taken out. Taxes shouldn't exist. What you earn you earn but then someone has to pay for the cost of living of others.
_Obviously_ that is the issue. Plenty of people do not wish to buy _plates_ from someone's non-regulated non-commercial kitchen. Especially random ones. Research is always key.
It’s not like they were ordering from red lobster or Sizzler or some type of name bread it was a family owned business small if you’re ordering it from these people then why does it matter Where they make it what if it was in a trailer in your front yard
I’m pretty sure when you order from your local restaurant you don’t ask them where they’re going to prepare the food they’re going to bring to you or have a third party bring to you or even your local pizza shop wouldn’t ask them what pizza oven they’re going to use or oil they’re going to put the chicken legs in
Oh no, they're taking money from a brick and mortar business?! As if people who can't afford a separate restaurant don't deserve to make money. Get over yourselves.
I was installing a HVAC system in a residential home last month and the tenant was running a food service from his dirty kitchen and trash and dirty dishes everywhere and the house stunk bad me and my crew was laughing so hard we couldn't work
I feel like all that is needed is that anyone selling from a home kitchen has to note such on its ordering page. Then, people who are concerned about it can not order that food while others who want to can support that home cooker's cooking!
Nah 🤣 "all that is needed" cook in your home but you should have to pay all the same taxes and fees and fines and do everything the same exact way restaurants do. Inspections and all. Food safety certificates. Etc.
@@CrustyUgg cooking at home for a few orders here and there doesn't bring as much money in as a restaurant seating 20 or more guests every 2 to 3 hours,
if your from Chicago you would know alot of people make food in their homes and sell them using social media as a side hustle. nothing wrong with that as long as they take the right precautions and sanitary actions to cook/prepare the food, but I have to admit I never seen it on a platform such as Uber Eats and door dash ect...
People are doing this everywhere. I’m in support of it and have tried food from many homes. Never got sick but caught food poisoning for the first time from the Shake shack at Encore off a chicken sandwich with lettuce.
People's response to this gives me hope for humanity. If someone wants to cook on their apartment, and someone else wants to buy it, then it really isn't anyone else's business.
“Licensed “ means once a year they know in advance of a health inspection so they clean like crazy the night before and throw out the rotting food, get their passing grade from the inspector, stick it in the window and go back to being nasty 🤣 If the customers were aware that the food came from a home kitchen, it’s their business and choice, not some rando delivery guys problem
You don’t sound triggered to me. You got that exactly right though. Except usually they make all the employees clean their Asses off a week prior to the inspection.
@@neophantomyt1435 It also means that the health inspector can drop in anytime and complaints can trigger surprise inspections. I'm loving all these people who have no idea how the food industry works letting us all know that health regulations don't matter.
@@neophantomyt1435 This is for real. When I was working at a local casino in the food and beverage department, we would know a good week or so in advance of the inspection so we had time to clean. One of our supervisors had had his own restaurant before working at the casino, so he'd pitch in with the cleaning when he wasn't busy in the other food areas. He was down to Earth and knew what was up. Loved working with him as a result. 😁
The issue is that it appeared to be a restaurant on the app and it was someone’s home. If it was clear that the people were ordering from someone cooking out of their own residence, taco truck or apartment in a complex the customers consuming the food should know. If the customers had that knowledge and still bought food that’s on them if they get sick. This clip didn’t mention if the customers cancelled the order or if the driver did. I want to know if the customers still wanted to food and how was it. Would have like to have seen what kind of take out containers the cook was using.
This is pretty normal for small towns. In my hometown we have a well known “home kitchen” type of place. He originally started out in his home, then a food truck and now has his own restaurant. I understand the health concerns, but it’s not all out of this world as this video makes it seem.
Some dude's just trying to make ends meet and he shut him down. No proof whatsoever that he was gonna make anyone sick or that his kitchen was unsanitary. Newsflash: the health department gives passing inspections to failing kitchens all the time. I see no indication that this guy accomplished anything other than stress and more hard times. Sounds like a Karen to me. I'd totally order a nice home cooked meal.
"No proof whatsoever that he was gonna make anyone sick or that his kitchen was unsanitary." -- no proof to the contrary either. And none forthcoming because no health inspector would even be aware of it. The amount of ignorant people defending this, who have no idea how food is prepared safely, and how easy it is to screw it up and seriously make people ill, is hilarious to me. Pro tip: The surfaces in home kitchens cannot be sanitized properly. They're too porous. Also, you have to have training and experience to be hired as a cook in an actual restaurant. Most average people have ZERO clue about food safety.
This coming from the guy that is driving a personal vehicle to deliver food, that's never inspected for cleanliness, and a driver that doesn't have to pass any food safety courses but is delivering the food. Smh. Hypocrite 🤔 Maybe we shut shutdown Uber too and just stick to taxis. There is a startup called Shef that is basically doing this as a meal service. They follow local laws though.
I'm confused. So a guy brings good out in flip flops means that its unsanitary? Have you not cooked in flip flops before? We don't even know what the place looks like too. Honestly I see nothing wrong with this.
Well this makes sense. Surely anyone who has ever participated in a Bake Sale (Schools, Churches, etc.)... have all of the proper permits, inspections, & insurance to sell food that was made in a home kitchen, right?... 🤔 Or have we been teaching our children how to commit a crime all of these years.
I have had food poisoning twice in my life. Both times were immediately following dining in very well known, established restaurants (who are required to have permits, inspections, & insurance). Not once has anyone had food poisoning from my home cooking, nor have I from any other person's home cooking. - No difference whether I had paid them for the meal, or not. If there were health related complaints from the customers of this person, then absolutely call them out & shut them down. Otherwise, I feel reporting someone who is selling home cooked meals from their own kitchen is really unjustified. - Especially during the pandemic, when many people are just trying to make ends meet. We should be helping each other. Of course my opinion is solely based on my own experience.
With the unconstitutional closing of restaurants due to the mandates, I can see how someone would be desperate and do this for their business. However, the real issue here is why is it so easy for just anyone to sign up as a restaurant on the app? It should be required to put in some kind of business license food code permit number in order to sell.
We recently had a family from El Salvador move down my street and the mom cooks food for the whole neighborhood and it's soooo good. I trust that over any random teenagers working in a restaurant and random delivery drivers 🙄🙄
I applaud that guy for his creativity. As long as there's full disclosure on what he's doing, I say you let the customers decide the risk they're willing to take. This is basically the adult version of a lemonade stand. It's no more dangerous or safe than a bake sale.
When Uber first started, they basically flouted city regulations regarding licensing of taxicab services. It's kind of hypocritical for Uber to act this way. This person running a kitchen out of their home strikes me as someone with an entrepreneurial bent trying to survive in difficult times.
“The city doesn’t encounter this often…” What? There’s lots of street corner vendors in Chicago selling tacos, tamales, corn, fruit, snow-cones, coffee, etc. This is news because it’s on Über Eats and has the same name as a prestigious restaurant.
@@turtleneckferret Uber Eats is pretty new and not the only form of advert. Church bake sales do advertise, at least the Greek church does for their Greek Fests. Those are always a big deal and attended by all sorts of people. My Yiaya and her friends would make baklava and all sorts of pastries to sell, in their HOUSES.
And all of them require permits to operate as well as food safety guidelines. Do you want anybody just waking up one day and deciding they'll cater your wedding or feed your children at school just because they think they can cook an okay meal from home? With zero training? Zero cleaning chemicals? Zero industrial sanitizing methods for their pots and pans?
I mean props to people doing what they need to do to make ends meet. They made a plan and carried it out. Kinda seems like an Uber issue since they clearly don't check who's serving food on their app.
"Hey, I'm not used to this, it's different. We need to make a law against it." "Does it cause any problems?" "No more problems than what I am used to." "So why make it illegal?" "Becuase I'm scared of it. It's out of my comfort zone. It doesn't have the magical blessing of being being a "professional" business. It's not regulated, so it doesn't provide me with an official rubber stamp that give me all the right feely weelies."
Give this Uber guy a break- he thought he was doing the right thing. He probably pays his taxes and all, and some dude puts up a phony restaurant with the name of a real restaurant, and gets to keep all his money because he's not a legit business. Come on people.
The number of people in the comments who have no idea about food safety and don't see a problem with this is hilarious to me. They don't realize they are PROVING THE POINT, which is that most people *have no idea about food safety.* There's a reason this is illegal.
In my county here in California as long as you go through the proper health inspections, pay for the permit, and have a couple of fire extinguishers, almost anyone can sell food from their homes.
I picked up an order from someone's residential address for Doordash once 🤷🏾♀️ no big deal at all. I've seen restaurants with unsanitary practices so it doesn't mean they're any better! If the city can make money off of it it'll allow anyone sell food from their home!
It’s actually legal in most places, with licenses it’s legal statewide in Louisiana, depending on the parish you would need an inspection for a license.
There's nothing illegal about running a food business out of your home. All States have a food cottage law. Also, as long your kitchen is inspected and licenced by your state's health department you are completely legal.
When I lived in Mass we made it a point to always run to Providence, RI in the summer and buy plates from the families selling having cook outs. Some of the best food I've ever had and I'd still do if I lived there.
Churches sell plates all the time to raise money. People sell BBQ and Tacos on the corner on weekends from Trucks and Van's. I have had a guy sell me tamales from a cooler. They were hot and delicious. I never got sick.
I really didn’t care for gumbo, until while living in New Orleans one of my neighbors came over one night and insisted I taste the gumbo he had just bought from a lady up the street. Not only did I become a regular, she taught me how to make it. Her kitchen was way cleaner than most restaurants.
"Home Cooked" is a whole category on Doordash here in Houston where you only need a Texas Food Handler's Certificate to sell certain food products. People have been selling plates in the hood forever but y'all get mad. 😂
I think the customers should at least know that its cooked from a home since some homes are unsanitary and some people aren't clean and let their animals in the kitchen when cooking. I miss this family coming by selling tamales and it was cheap.
Yeah if you know it's home cooked, then by all means go and order. But doing a ninja kitchen and passing yourself off as a certified restaurant is another story. I think the "restaurant" here was a ninja kitchen.
Lol people with pets! When they give you cookies and stuff always always always fur on the food. Neighbors are nice but I always toss their food cuz it always had cat fur baked in the cookies. They had like 6 cats in the house 😬
I've thrown food away from an actual "restaurant" because it was so nasty. Just because it's made in a commercial kitchen doesn't mean it's properly cooked.
You are right! However the difference has to do with licensing, a commercial kitchen has to pass yearly inspections, they go through managing/renewing rigorous and expensive licenses and fees every year as well as training and liability insurance. A home has NONE of that. If you get sick your SOL !! At least with a restaurant you can sue the place lol
@@levelintent People go to far with this snitching ridiculousness. Not everyone cares about street cred or being hood.
Right!!!
That's not the point. At a person's house, they don't have to abide by sanitary rules. No license, no liability. ..you are own your own if ya tails get really sick. This ninja may have had roaches, dogs, etc all in that kitchen... or just a nasty house period!

@@ShanaLawson So, the thing is…if you’re a solid business, you’ve got a solid location, you’ve got paperwork and paper trails and it’s easy to keep track of you and your restaurant. When you’re just somebody cooking out of a random kitchen AND YOU’VE GOT NO INSPECTIONS, NO PAPER WORK, NO SOLID FIXED LOCATION, someone gets sick, you can just pick up and move kitchens and keep doing the same thing that got other people sick. And people can die. Outbreaks of food borne illnesses can happen. Salmonella, hemorrhagic infections of e.coli, toxin producing bacteria that can land you in the hospital or the morgue. ENTIRELY preventable with a health department breathing down your neck and tracking cases that come from your restaurant. Impossible to avoid if everyone is allowed to cook out of their kitchen and just sell the food to people whenever. I mean, if you want to take that chance…you’re welcome. I’m sure there are some home chefs who know what they’re doing but I wouldn’t want an entire unregulated industry to pop up cause then that’s just…oof.
@@MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor There’s plenty of at home businesses. We just need those kitchens inspected like the commercial ones. Most of the time home kitchens are cleaner than commercial ones during working hours.
I'm so happy about all the positive comments! I'm a chef, mostly catering experience. The pandemic ruined my income. I'm also a home caretaker for my elderly mother, with my sister.

As a former apartment property manager, I can tell you that this happens way more often than you might think. I managed rental properties for 5 years, and found several rental units in that time that were running catering businesses and/or food truck businesses using their private home kitchens.

Alot of restaurants don't even know its an uber, Doordash, grub hub order. Some just get a notification stating it's a mobile order. Uber eats don't care enough to do stuff like this. Sometimes they even add restaurants who don't even want to be apart of the delivery service. Almost all the restaurants in my area say it just shows up as a mobile order.

I've worked in several industries, including food service and pest control. After working in Pest Control for two years, servicing many food service establishments... you have no clue as to who's preparing your food, what's been crawling on your food, or what may have been added intentionally or on accident; the things I've seen! I rarely eat out. And, after having worked in food service for a few years, I have no faith in inspectors, seen them ignore blatant violations which were a legitimate health issue, also seen them harass a person who had one of the cleanest establishments I've ever been in.

Honestly you got to be careful about selling food from home because if the wrong person finds out then it's over. There was a guy I knew who used to make pizza in NYC and we would order pizza from him all the time. Certain people with big mouths put a stop to all that. And it really helped him have some extra money outside of his regular job.

I'm so happy to see that most people in the comments understands the situation of the home owner, because in this pandemic, some people do cook foods at home to sell, mostly to people they know and it gets around via word of mouth, which means, it must tastes really good. I do appreciate the driver's concern, but I wonder does he inspect the restaurants that people order food from as well? I guess not. And if his concern is "cleanliness", most people keeps their homes clean, so there is a better chance that the food cooked at home is a lot cleaner and safer than that from a restaurant.
You'd think he picked up food from a truck stop toilet. What a hero.
Was the food good? I wouldn’t wear steel toed boots either if I’m cooking from home.

I’m pretty sure when you order from your local restaurant you don’t ask them where they’re going to prepare the food they’re going to bring to you or have a third party bring to you or even your local pizza shop wouldn’t ask them what pizza oven they’re going to use or oil they’re going to put the chicken legs in

I feel like all that is needed is that anyone selling from a home kitchen has to note such on its ordering page. Then, people who are concerned about it can not order that food while others who want to can support that home cooker's cooking!
Nah 🤣 "all that is needed" cook in your home but you should have to pay all the same taxes and fees and fines and do everything the same exact way restaurants do. Inspections and all. Food safety certificates. Etc.
@@CrustyUgg cooking at home for a few orders here and there doesn't bring as much money in as a restaurant seating 20 or more guests every 2 to 3 hours,
Now that would be truthful advertising and it won’t get any customers.
Yeah I believe the real issue was 1) then not stating it 2) they’re using another famous restaurants name
What's wrong with you allosch? There's no place for common sense or logic online. 😁😉😁
if your from Chicago you would know alot of people make food in their homes and sell them using social media as a side hustle. nothing wrong with that as long as they take the right precautions and sanitary actions to cook/prepare the food, but I have to admit I never seen it on a platform such as Uber Eats and door dash ect...
There’s nothing wrong with that as long as folks know it’s coming from an unregulated home.
There's a lot wrong with it. These places don't pay taxes and are illegal.
@@turtleneckferret who cares
@@turtleneckferret If people are comfortable eating food from home kitchens, they can do so. Selling food is common in some areas.
@@turtleneckferret get a fucking life. Your obviously a dumbass Republican if that's the first thing u can think about.
Every time I've had food poisoning, it was from a restaurant. I've never been sick from eating a home cooked meal.
That driver may have meant well but he just destroyed someones business....without a valid reason. I bet the food was safe and delicious.
Would people have too resort to this if beetlejuice didnt kill half the restaurants in the city
I'm always hesitant to eat coworkers meals at our 'potluck' events.
People are doing this everywhere. I’m in support of it and have tried food from many homes. Never got sick but caught food poisoning for the first time from the Shake shack at Encore off a chicken sandwich with lettuce.
That's what saying
Not yet didn't get sick yet.
You'll be in support of proper regulations when you or your loved ones learn _the hard way._
@@BL3SSed-Bliss What did the regulations do for his food poisoning at the shake shack pray tell?

People's response to this gives me hope for humanity. If someone wants to cook on their apartment, and someone else wants to buy it, then it really isn't anyone else's business.
“Licensed “ means once a year they know in advance of a health inspection so they clean like crazy the night before and throw out the rotting food, get their passing grade from the inspector, stick it in the window and go back to being nasty 🤣
If the customers were aware that the food came from a home kitchen, it’s their business and choice, not some rando delivery guys problem
You don’t sound triggered to me. You got that exactly right though. Except usually they make all the employees clean their Asses off a week prior to the inspection.
I'm kicking off a new phrase.
"Over-regulation actually causes under-regulation"
@@neophantomyt1435 It also means that the health inspector can drop in anytime and complaints can trigger surprise inspections.
I'm loving all these people who have no idea how the food industry works letting us all know that health regulations don't matter.
@@zammmerjammer I worked in several locations that NEVER had a health inspector just drop in on surprise, you would be amazed.
@@neophantomyt1435 This is for real. When I was working at a local casino in the food and beverage department, we would know a good week or so in advance of the inspection so we had time to clean. One of our supervisors had had his own restaurant before working at the casino, so he'd pitch in with the cleaning when he wasn't busy in the other food areas. He was down to Earth and knew what was up. Loved working with him as a result. 😁
The moral of the story is. Don't try to do anything to make money that's not taxed.😂😂
The issue is that it appeared to be a restaurant on the app and it was someone’s home. If it was clear that the people were ordering from someone cooking out of their own residence, taco truck or apartment in a complex the customers consuming the food should know. If the customers had that knowledge and still bought food that’s on them if they get sick. This clip didn’t mention if the customers cancelled the order or if the driver did. I want to know if the customers still wanted to food and how was it. Would have like to have seen what kind of take out containers the cook was using.
Exactly
"The moral of the story is don't get caught."
Over-regulation causes under-regulation.
Remember that if you are ever in a leadership position.
This is pretty normal for small towns. In my hometown we have a well known “home kitchen” type of place. He originally started out in his home, then a food truck and now has his own restaurant. I understand the health concerns, but it’s not all out of this world as this video makes it seem.
Some dude's just trying to make ends meet and he shut him down. No proof whatsoever that he was gonna make anyone sick or that his kitchen was unsanitary. Newsflash: the health department gives passing inspections to failing kitchens all the time. I see no indication that this guy accomplished anything other than stress and more hard times. Sounds like a Karen to me. I'd totally order a nice home cooked meal.
That’s just disgusting and am really mad at such people
"No proof whatsoever that he was gonna make anyone sick or that his kitchen was unsanitary." -- no proof to the contrary either. And none forthcoming because no health inspector would even be aware of it.
The amount of ignorant people defending this, who have no idea how food is prepared safely, and how easy it is to screw it up and seriously make people ill, is hilarious to me.
Pro tip: The surfaces in home kitchens cannot be sanitized properly. They're too porous. Also, you have to have training and experience to be hired as a cook in an actual restaurant. Most average people have ZERO clue about food safety.
This coming from the guy that is driving a personal vehicle to deliver food, that's never inspected for cleanliness, and a driver that doesn't have to pass any food safety courses but is delivering the food. Smh. Hypocrite 🤔 Maybe we shut shutdown Uber too and just stick to taxis.
There is a startup called Shef that is basically doing this as a meal service. They follow local laws though.
Good point on the hypocrisy
I'm confused. So a guy brings good out in flip flops means that its unsanitary? Have you not cooked in flip flops before? We don't even know what the place looks like too. Honestly I see nothing wrong with this.
i bet the apartment owner takes more pride than the children at the other places.
Well this makes sense.
Surely anyone who has ever
participated in a Bake Sale
(Schools, Churches, etc.)...
have all of the proper permits, inspections, & insurance to sell food that was made in a home kitchen, right?... 🤔
Or have we been teaching our children how to commit a crime all of these years.
There is some magical sanitary barrier between non-profit funderaisers and businesses. Something about tax money killing germs or something like that.
I have had food poisoning
twice in my life. Both times were immediately following dining in very well known, established restaurants (who are required to have permits, inspections, & insurance).
Not once has anyone had food poisoning from my home cooking,
nor have I from any other person's home cooking.
- No difference whether I had paid them for the meal, or not.
If there were health related complaints from the customers of this person,
then absolutely call them out
& shut them down.
Otherwise, I feel reporting someone who is selling home cooked meals from their own kitchen is
really unjustified.
- Especially during the pandemic, when many people are just trying to make ends meet. We should be helping each other.
Of course my opinion is solely based on my own experience.
Only time I’ve ever gotten food poisoning in my life was at chick fill A…
With the unconstitutional closing of restaurants due to the mandates, I can see how someone would be desperate and do this for their business. However, the real issue here is why is it so easy for just anyone to sign up as a restaurant on the app? It should be required to put in some kind of business license food code permit number in order to sell.
I've worked in restaurants all my life, and I'd choose a home-cooked meal any day.
Exactly I would have much more support a person that’s trying to make their business boom and besides restaurants just tell heat food
From a stranger? Who doesn't even have to follow health and food safety guidelines..... Ok
The grill jockeys in restaurants are strangers to me too and don't follow the rules a lot of the time.
I bet that food was BUSSIN!!!!
he put his foot in it 😅
AngelLuvsvids2015 omg 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@mztrice80 Lmao
What a snitch. A man tries to provide a service to his community and he gets shut down.
We recently had a family from El Salvador move down my street and the mom cooks food for the whole neighborhood and it's soooo good. I trust that over any random teenagers working in a restaurant and random delivery drivers 🙄🙄
Oh, word? One thing happened one time? Okay, then. We'll abolish the health department immediately.
I cook at home 99% of the times so I don't have to worry about things like this.
I know what ingredients I put in, cleanliness level, etc.
Same
I applaud that guy for his creativity. As long as there's full disclosure on what he's doing, I say you let the customers decide the risk they're willing to take.
This is basically the adult version of a lemonade stand. It's no more dangerous or safe than a bake sale.
Here's an idea.. Cook your own meals...
No
No
Kirk should mind his business . They chose to eat there all he need to do is deliver it not choose if they can eat there or not
When Uber first started, they basically flouted city regulations regarding licensing of taxicab services. It's kind of hypocritical for Uber to act this way.
This person running a kitchen out of their home strikes me as someone with an entrepreneurial bent trying to survive in difficult times.
a side hustler tring to expose a side hustler? fug otta here
“The city doesn’t encounter this often…” What? There’s lots of street corner vendors in Chicago selling tacos, tamales, corn, fruit, snow-cones, coffee, etc. This is news because it’s on Über Eats and has the same name as a prestigious restaurant.
I was also wondering about church bake sales as well.
@@michelesmith2620 church bake sells are a private event and don't advertise on Uber eats
@@turtleneckferret Uber Eats is pretty new and not the only form of advert. Church bake sales do advertise, at least the Greek church does for their Greek Fests. Those are always a big deal and attended by all sorts of people. My Yiaya and her friends would make baklava and all sorts of pastries to sell, in their HOUSES.
@Brian Skupien Those street corner vendors are also licensed, inspected, and regulated by local authorities.
And all of them require permits to operate as well as food safety guidelines. Do you want anybody just waking up one day and deciding they'll cater your wedding or feed your children at school just because they think they can cook an okay meal from home? With zero training? Zero cleaning chemicals? Zero industrial sanitizing methods for their pots and pans?
It wasn’t his food. What a weirdo. It’s your job to deliver food, nothing else.
I mean props to people doing what they need to do to make ends meet. They made a plan and carried it out. Kinda seems like an Uber issue since they clearly don't check who's serving food on their app.
He"s A Driver & Worrying About Some Dam Flip Flop Shoes So Next Time Put On Some Shoes. 😂😂😂😂
"Hey, I'm not used to this, it's different. We need to make a law against it."
"Does it cause any problems?"
"No more problems than what I am used to."
"So why make it illegal?"
"Becuase I'm scared of it. It's out of my comfort zone. It doesn't have the magical blessing of being being a "professional" business. It's not regulated, so it doesn't provide me with an official rubber stamp that give me all the right feely weelies."
These people will have a heart attack if they decide to travel anywhere abroad. Simpletons.
People keep the kitchen THEY eat in 1000x cleaner than work kitchens they make other people’s food in.
Ok that customer may have known where it was coming from🤷
Ok Tom .. thank you for saving a person's life what a hero!!! Jeez what would we do without you ..
Somebody get this guy a cape!!!
Lmao hahaha

Give this Uber guy a break- he thought he was doing the right thing. He probably pays his taxes and all, and some dude puts up a phony restaurant with the name of a real restaurant, and gets to keep all his money because he's not a legit business. Come on people.
The number of people in the comments who have no idea about food safety and don't see a problem with this is hilarious to me. They don't realize they are PROVING THE POINT, which is that most people *have no idea about food safety.* There's a reason this is illegal.
Imagine being a small caterer, attempting to offer your clientele a delivery option in an effort to grow your business and getting in trouble for it.
You don't mess with people's lives Kirk. Remember what goes around comes around.
Kirk is just being a snitch.
So ur going to take food from someone saying they have a business ?! But they are making it from home ?! Ur a idiot!
It is illegal to sell food u cook in ur home without an industrial kitchen and inspections. But a lot of people do it.
In my county here in California as long as you go through the proper health inspections, pay for the permit, and have a couple of fire extinguishers, almost anyone can sell food from their homes.
I picked up an order from someone's residential address for Doordash once 🤷🏾♀️ no big deal at all. I've seen restaurants with unsanitary practices so it doesn't mean they're any better! If the city can make money off of it it'll allow anyone sell food from their home!
It’s actually legal in most places, with licenses it’s legal statewide in Louisiana, depending on the parish you would need an inspection for a license.
Yet those food cooked at home hasn't gotten anyone Sick
No its not if you have a food service permit ...at least not in Houstim
There's nothing illegal about running a food business out of your home. All States have a food cottage law. Also, as long your kitchen is inspected and licenced by your state's health department you are completely legal.
Dude is just trying to make a living, I bet he was a snitch since kindergarten
@V. P. N Same here...
@V. P. N the same race as everyone praising his snitch ass on here
I guarantee that my kitchen is cleaner than most restaurants out there and my food is probably better than most as well. Support small businesses 😊
When I lived in Mass we made it a point to always run to Providence, RI in the summer and buy plates from the families selling having cook outs. Some of the best food I've ever had and I'd still do if I lived there.
Churches sell plates all the time to raise money. People sell BBQ and Tacos on the corner on weekends from Trucks and Van's. I have had a guy sell me tamales from a cooler. They were hot and delicious. I never got sick.
I've been eating hot tamales for over fifty years from a guys house. The best I've ever had.
Go tell it girl! HOT AND DELICIOUS! They need to leave that man alone.
He had nothing better to do. 😡🤬
One of the most exclusive steak experiences in the world is literally out of some dude's trunk. Pulls out A5 Wagyu from the backseat of his car lmfao
If the tamales dont out from the cooler then they arent good 🤣 is what i say
I really didn’t care for gumbo, until while living in New Orleans one of my neighbors came over one night and insisted I taste the gumbo he had just bought from a lady up the street. Not only did I become a regular, she taught me how to make it. Her kitchen was way cleaner than most restaurants.
"Home Cooked" is a whole category on Doordash here in Houston where you only need a Texas Food Handler's Certificate to sell certain food products. People have been selling plates in the hood forever but y'all get mad. 😂
I think the customers should at least know that its cooked from a home since some homes are unsanitary and some people aren't clean and let their animals in the kitchen when cooking. I miss this family coming by selling tamales and it was cheap.
Yeah if you know it's home cooked, then by all means go and order. But doing a ninja kitchen and passing yourself off as a certified restaurant is another story. I think the "restaurant" here was a ninja kitchen.
Lol people with pets! When they give you cookies and stuff always always always fur on the food. Neighbors are nice but I always toss their food cuz it always had cat fur baked in the cookies. They had like 6 cats in the house 😬
