Soul (less) Food

I was approached by a colleague yesterday about a soul food delivery business one of her friends was starting. As my colleague divulged the details I was skeptical about the whole structure of her friends business, sure they made up fancy menus, but the food she made was not cooked to order, but cooked the night before to ensure timely delivery. As a favor to my colleague I decided to order one of the meals, I went with the turkey meatloaf, the least offensive choice on the menu and standard soul food fare. The problems started from there, no one answered the phone at this woman's house/restaurant last night I was hoping to get more order for lunch, I did not even get to place the order until 12:30. I don't like late lunches but I had point to much effort in at this point to quit without my meatloaf. The food came about a half an hour ago, I paid ($ for the meatloaf and cabbage, I thought that seemed high but figured at least the portions would be large. My food arrived on a paper plate covered with plastic wrap, I mean could they not at least spring for Styrofoam containers , especially with the nine bucks I paid. I was immediately disappointed with the paltry portions, a small slice of meatloaf that was bone dry and what looked like an ice cream scoop of cabbage, my request for hot sauce was also rebuffed when I talked to the restaurant. I am all for trying new places and people doing something different in the food world, but this was an example of someone with an idea, but no preparation behind it, thou roughly disappointing meal.
