Any details on this? Is the plan to just let anyone sell whatever food they damn well please? Commercial kitchen licensing and safe food handling licenses exist for a damn good reason. These regulations were written in bloody diarrhea.

How do I get in on this Beta? I have some leftover lasagna I froze into single servings - can sell frozen for $5 or heat it up and sell for $9.

Sounds like it's time to get a bigger slow cooker if I could sell a batch of stew for this kinda cash. Delivering by bike for minimum wage is shit, but if you own the business and get that kinda money it suddenly beats most regular jobs and starts looking tempting.

There is already a massive difference between my coocking for myself and for guests. And my guest cooking wouldnt survive a health inspection. On the other hand do i know enough restutanz kitchens that are worse. So much...

Unless they made you sign an NDA when you were invited to the closed beta, i doubt you're breaking an NDA. The most they can do is revoke your access to the closed beta i think.

Also, 3 hour old sourdough with a bid that ends in 2 hours... Hmm, i love sourdough from 5 hours ago... Very fresh.

Food trucks are regulated. And often have much more frequent inspections than regular restaurants. Sometimes even monthly inspections in some areas.

And I trust Maria selling those tamales. She would never steer me wrong.

it is weird that there is bidding for this instead of just all being "buy it now". Who wants to plan several hours ahead for probabilistic takeout you probably won't even get, to maybe hypothetically save several dollars?

If they signed an NDA, I would expect ebay to suspend the account if caught. There are different ways that could happen. This assumes this thing is even real.

I usually leave my sourdough to cure for 24 hours before I slice it. Improves the texture. Lets the gluten solidify.

High hydration, so letting it dry out a bit is fine.

i'm trying to remember how much it cost to get my food handlers permit back when. if i could get my kitchen "home certified" or whatever that means (it's totally a thing shut up) i could be a tamale mama or get back into the ice cream game. i might even be able to compete with our local legend of a tamale mama who started a tamale factory

I hope your guests get better coocking than you do, but I guess you have to treat your coock right every now and again.

They call it a cottage baker license around where I live (for baking at least). I got it in 2025 to sell some loaves and ended up having the most busy year of work so I sold zero.

i'm in california and have cats. and am friends with the baker at the coffee shop and we've talked about this exact thing before for all y'all trying to infodump and tell me i can do this when i already know the rules. i'm pretty sure the rules are insane for me

They don't need an NDA to suspend your account, just terms in the EULA.

NDA is for when you involve a court.
