What’s your favorite coronavirus comfort food that you’ve kept ordering for delivery, germophobia be damned?Yelp YELP, -1.60% had one of its data scientists mine the text of dish names being ordered on its app and review site since shelter-in-place orders began on March 16 to determine what Americans have been craving as the pandemic has upended life around the country.
In mid-April, more than one in five U.S. adults said they had food delivered, which was up from 19% the week before, Axios reported. And the percentage of parents using delivery apps increased from 16% to 20% between February and March, while non-parents saw their share increase from 27% to 28%. Grubhub saw delivery demand spike 30% in March, which is the most sudden change it has seen.
And pizza was the overall most popular takeout food across the country, which the analysts said came as “no surprise” since it tends to be cheap and “delivers well.” Crawfish is the top dish in Texas, as locals continue taking advantage of the peak crawfish season there. Houston’s Boil House was raved about on Yelp, in particular.
