How to order the best lunch meals for delivery

When it comes to ordering lunch online, the classics are, well…classic for a reason. Fried chicken and beef burgers are usually top of mind, probably because they’re something of a staple among consumers in search of a midday meal.

But, let’s say you’re craving some variety. What then? Thankfully, there are plenty of other dishes perfectly suited for delivery. Next time you’re thinking about grabbing something to control those midday hunger pangs, keep the following recommendations in mind.

Grilled Meats and Vegetables Reheat Well

If you’re browsing a restaurant’s delivery menu, keep this important tip in mind: Anything that just got off the grill is perfect for delivery.

If you’ve attended a lengthy braai, you know that grilled food can be kept for a while without losing its flavour or texture; making it a prime candidate for delivery. The modern food delivery scenario typically involves generic packaging that wasn’t created to be exceptionally good at storing one thing, but rather, for storing everything all at once. That’s why it’s important to think about what gets transported over a distance but still retains its flavour after it’s reheated. That’s what makes grilled foods your best bet.

Go with Something Green

Salads have a lot more to offer than amazing nutritional value. If you’re looking for something that will get to you in pretty much the same state it left the restaurant, you can’t go wrong with a salad. It’s easy to see why. Salads don’t have to be reheated, don’t get soggy, and retain their form even as the delivery driver weaves in and out of lanes on his way to you. If you’ve needed another reason to order a Greek salad, you just found one.

Make Minor Changes to Your Usual Order

Ever heard of the phrase: ‘Don’t fix it if it’s not broken? This little nugget of wisdom also applies to the arena of online ordering. Burgers are a no-brainer for most people in search of something to enjoy at midday. If you’re one of the many people who can’t resist ordering a burger for lunch, don’t fight the urge. Instead, rather try something other than the beef burger you’ve had countless times. If there’s a Wimpy near you treat yourself to The Crisp Supreme Chicken & Bacon Burger & Chips for R59.90. It’s a chicken burger  that’s ultra-crispy and bursting with flavour. What more could you ask for?

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, lunch is just as important. The next time you order something that will haul you out of the midday slump, make sure it’s ideal for delivery.
