Why Can’t Meat and Potatoes Restaurants Deliver?

Why do Chinese restaurants have the low-down, the low-mein, on delivery? I don’t feel well, and I want a steak, a baked potato and a salad. No one in Rhode Island will delivery this fare to my door. Are Italians averse to delivery? When and where exactly did the Chinese delivery phenomena take root, ginger root? I am sick with a cold, still, and wouldn’t mind a meatball or an Irish stew. Actually, I’d settle for a Subway sandwich, but they don’t deliver either. Would someone clue me in? Thank you. – a Truly, at the Moment, starving artist.
