The Delivery Bag

Every Thursday, a different SeamlessWeb customer tells us about how he or she orders from the site. This week we have Jamie, who loves cheese like a fat kid loves cake:

Name: Jamie

Age: Young enough to still put rims on it, son.

Occupation: Human Resources Professional. You might think that it’s not such an interesting profession, but let me explain how interesting it actually is. For example, just yesterday someone asked me to explain the difference between paid time off and a floating holiday. Seems like a boring question, right? Wrong! You see, the main difference between the two is…ahhh whatever, no one is reading this anymore, are they? (Ed: So wait, how much paid time off do I get?)

How and When Did You Discover SeamlessWeb? I actually work at SeamlessWeb. So in an odd reversal, SeamlessWeb actually discovered me.

Where Do You Use SW? That’s sort of like a personal question that I don’t feel comfortable answering. (Ed: Home and/or office would have been acceptable.)

Favorite Kind of Food: Grilled cheese; anything with melted cheese; the part of the pizza crust where the cheese burns a little bit and gets real crunchy; Weight Watcher point meals (nothing over 4 points!); meat lover’s deep dish pizza; quesadillas with guac; salad (hold the fatty dressing); deep-fried mozzarella sticks; melted cheese again; iceberg lettuce; donuts; melted cheese filled donuts; chocolate dipped cookies that are deep fried, topped with salsa, and served in a decorative tote bag that has a picture of cheese on it (Ed: Have you ever seen this?)

Least Favorite Kind of Food: Blue cheese, mushrooms, canned tuna (Ed: Guess blue cheese must not melt well.)

Favorite Place(s) to Order From on SW? Ali Baba, Hale & Hearty, Delectica, Pie by the Pound, Spice Cove

Least Favorite Thing About Calling Restaurants? I hate it when I’m opening the bag of cereal inside the box and I don’t get a clean tear. Then the cereal pours out over the counter and I know the entire box is ruined because of that initial tear. That sucks. And then I don’t even feel like eating cereal for dinner again, so I pick up the phone and call a restaurant to ask where my delivery is, and the guy yells back at me, “The food is on the way, it will be there any second.” And I call again 10 minutes later and get no answer. And then an hour later I realize that he didn’t even ask me my name and I never actually ordered. So in my mind, calling restaurants means eating cereal for dinner and spilling it all over the kitchen counter.

Closest Previous Brush with Internet Fame? I appear for one second in a Bruce Springsteen Tour DVD. I’m in the credits as “White girl in front row dancing awkwardly to no beat.” That isn’t a brush with internet fame, but you CAN purchase the DVD on the internet. (Ed: Did you get on IMDb for that?)

Favorite Celebrity Chef? Ming Tsai. I’m totally into that whole East Meets West vibe. And Blue Ginger is my favorite restaurant in the entire world, even though they don’t serve anything with melted cheese on it.

Favorite Cartoon Growing Up? I wish Fraggle Rock was a cartoon. Smurfs, Muppet Babies, She-Ra Princess of Power

What Superpower Do You Wish You Had? I wish that instead of blood I had melted cheese running through me. Then I’d secretly cut myself on purpose and when someone asks me if I need a band aid I would incredulously look at them and say, “Ummmm, no.  Remember, melted cheese for blood, duh.” Then I would lick my cut.

In the Past Year, What’s the Latest You’ve Stayed Up and Why? I tried to recreate this guy’s cheese carving feats. I lasted until 1 a.m. and passed out in a mound of cheddar and tears. I think it was because I didn’t have a live backing band.

Plans for Tonight? Thursday night? I just gots to beat the beat.
