We’re well into the semester now and if you’re still holding onto that meal plan (or looking for swipe donors) kudos. Luckily, we can use our meal plans all over campus now! But if you’re anything like me and looking for something new to eat as often as the weather changes in DC, you’re probably bored already and running out of Eaglebucks from all the same takeout every week. A couple of you are probably haunted by the time you decided you’d finally had enough and shelled out $50 at Whole Foods or Dean and DeLuca to finally make the meal you’ve been dreaming about only to realize 1) you’ll never use the ingredients again 2) you have no place to put them or the leftovers or 3) you didn’t have some obscure kitchen utensil you needed and ended up browsing GrubHub.
It’s frustrating but fortunately, you don’t have to compromise your great taste or love of cooking just because you’re here at AU. Whether you just got here, have been here or you’re just tired, hungry and busy, thanks to gourmet food delivery start-up scratchDC, you can still have healthy, home-cooked meals on a time crunch and budget. Founded by Kogod alum Ryan Hansan, scratchDC takes care of all your prep work – grocery shopping, chopping, measuring and marinating – and delivers the perfect measured ingredients with an easy-to-follow recipe to your door just in time for dinner. No random kitchen utensils necessary!
Inspired by his mom’s home cooking and his personal frustration in the Anderson kitchens, Hansan founded scratchDC about a year ago in the hopes of making amazing meals easy. Order online from the week’s menu, choose your time and have a gourmet meal like Hazelnut-Crusted Tilapia on your table in under 30 minutes.
