Happy Thanksgiving

The Dude hopes you all had a great thanksgiving, we sure did. Had a great time delivering completely cooked  thanksgiving dinners to you Dudes. We spent some time looking at new restaurants to add and settled on a bunch of great stuff we'll be bringing you soon. Now to the hilarity of the thanksgiving holiday.


10:45am The day after thanksgiving

Order comes into the system

48 chicken soft tacos
12  burritos
8 Mexican pizzas
4 extra large Pepsi's

That should be funny enough

The dude will soon also be offering party platters form Publix and Krogers deli's. They have really great stuff for office parties,watching the game or having a get together with friends. Right now were just working out the logistics to bring it to your door super fast.

We had a great GTech  mom order thanksgiving dinner for her son at Georgia Tech. He and his friends, about four of them, were crazy excited about the food, they looked like they were really gonna to enjoy it. There were pies and stuffing turkey and the whole nine.... we  drove past them later that day off  courtland  st and saw them serving it to homeless people #Gtech

Black Friday was an interesting time, we picked up new gadgets to make our deliveries even faster, used our Jedi maneuvering skills to weave through the throngs of shoppers super fast and came out with allot of cool stuff. We're gonna use all these new gadgets in 2011 to make your delivery experience even more dynamic and quick. Check back with us soon because as the temperature drops the stories should get funnier and as always our speed will get faster.- The Fast food Dude

Rainy Days and Delivery

You would think that weather directly impacts how many poeple order delivery but it might surprise you that it doesnt really. Unless there is the "perfect storm" like combination of bad or good weather it seems that people order based more on personal conditions. It has to be cold rainy and night time or miday supper hot and humid to really make an impact. Usually a litle drizzle or a nice 75 degree day doesnt eafect ordering trends. What is however effected by rain or sun is how crazy people in Atlanta drive. In the rain it seems everyone is under the impression that their cars are in perceft condition and can preform like nascar racers, sadly just brakes and mieneke are not the pit crew at indy. On the rainy days you end up getting alot of near misses and close calls. Anyone in the perimiter and for that matter anyone who has to drive into the permiter knows exactly what The Dude means. Have you ever been late for work and rushing in the rain, thats what The Dude does all day long while zooming to get food to doors super fast. Its almost like Mario Cart or GTA except in this game your trying NOT to hit everybody who weaves in and out of your lane.
         The same seems to hold true for the super heat of the atlanta summer. Its like the temperature starts slowing down the part of the brain that deals with reflex, reaction time and comon sense. Everyone has seen the convertable driver with the extra loud music singing (and or rapping) along, Pitch black sun shades on,drinking their frapa (whatever blend the have) and not looking at anything infront of them.In the summer The Dude and his band of merry dudes use scooters to get the food out and so you can imagine how the driver above would miss our litle 50cc scooters in their mirors (which aparently no one uses in weather above 75 degrees). We end up doing alot of hotrodesque stunts on those litle peace sports. Luckily the city of atlanta still allows scooters to hop on a sidewalk every now and again so we tend to navigate trafic like champions but still.... its a very interesting ride. Next summer we are definatley going to stream live video from the front of one of the scooters, it is heart stopping entertainment to say the least. Thanks goodness that
The Dude and Dude colleauges  are some of the best drivers the city has ever seen and so we seemlesly slid through traffic regardless of sunshine or tsunami.

Tales From a Master of Conveniance Part One

This is the first blog post of the fastest delivery dude on earth.With speed very often comes excitement and the exciting stuff that happens when the dude is delivering your food is often hilarious and interesting. This blog will be dedicated to stories from delivery dudes, customers and restaurant staff. Look forward to a peak into an entire subculture you may have never noticed.


Part One

while waiting for an order at an unnamed restaurant a patron entered with a fairly large dog the following ensued.

Hostess: oh no you cant bring your dog in here
Passer by: he's blind though
Hostess: I don't care if your dogs blind mister

While delivering to Georgia tech during the first game of the season on a scooter the driver approaches a police officer at the barricade blocking off the street


Driver: Officer can I park my scooter here and walk this deliver in
Officer: hell you cant park here but you on a scooter you can ride wherever you want to just don't run nobody over

The driver drove the order to a tech dorm on a blocked off street full of people total order time was 26 minutes

While on a lighting fast delivery a driver entered a fast food restaurant to find no one in side, no patrons, no staff.

Driver: hello, HELLO!!

The freezer which can be seen from the counter opens and six staff members exit followed by clouds of smoke.

Cashier: Cough, Cough .... Can I take your order

Stay tuned for more! The deliveries get faster and the stories get more outrageous
