Food lovers scanning the internet for a last minute party requirement better keep your eyes open. Hunger can catch up to you anytime of the day, better be ready for the worse. Not everyone knows or loves cooking and going to restaurants sometimes requires a lot of effort.
Shifting to a new city for your dream job or college is awesome and fancy until you get really homesick and start missing ‘mothers meal’.
You have two choices : either start cooking at home in the little time that remains after a busy day at office or eat out at restaurants daily and expect to die early (you won’t die really but do you wanna risk it?).
