I don't remember where or what but I remember this idea being discussed a few months ago on HN and there were quite a few reasons this is unlikely to happen. Because safety of properly cooked food and human consumption and other reasons. If you could stay relatively small and under radar. And get lucky enough for nothing bad to happen long enough to make billions like Uber. Then maybe have chance to pull off and get proper legal support/lobbyists

There are a ton of regulations around preparing food for sale. They vary from state to state. There are cottage laws popping up in some states that allow certain foods to be prepared without heavy regulation, mainly for food categories that are more self-stable and don't easily spoil (E.G. turn deadly) such as baked breads, candy, etc.

Instead of "selling" the food, though, maybe the structure could be a food club or other value swap.

This would be great for my stepdad. He has a tendency to cook enough of a single dish to feed himself for months (for example: buying a turkey after Thanksgiving, then making and freezing months' worth of turkey soup). Perhaps instead of packing his freezer full of soup, he could sell it to people on the Internet?
