DoorDash tries controversial method to deliver your meal

There was a time when if you had a sudden craving for, say, French fries or a spicy chicken sandwich, you had to hop in your car and hit the drive-thru. 

Then came GrubHub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash: Late-night munchies have never been the same. 

Food delivery has existed forever, of course. In some cities like New York and San Francisco, some restaurants even had staff who would deliver orders that came in over the phone.
