Here at Grubhub, our employees are pretty obsessed with food. Every day, weâre making sure delicious food finds its way to your doorâŠand to ours. Say what? Correct, we too order from Grubhub (so meta).
With our âWhat I Ate in a Weekâ series, youâll get a sneak peek into the lives of actual â never not hungry â Grubhub team members. A nice benefit that happens to come with our jobs is what we call âmealperksâ â our weekly Grubhub stipend. Clearly, weâre using this to get the best bites in town each and every week.
On deck, we have: Hannah, a Strategic Partner Manager at Grubhub. Get the lowdown on her delivery highlights of the week and top ordering hacks.
Letâs meet Hannah.
Hello, hello! My name is Hannah and I currently reside in the Mile High City also known as Denver. I joined the Grubhub family last fall.
My day always starts with a cup of coffee and ends with a piece of frozen dark chocolate. Nine times out of 10, Iâll have packed a snack in my backpack, purse and, yes, even clutch. I used to work in marketing for a top fast food restaurant brand and now Iâm helping college students maximize their day by ordering food ahead of time for pick up, so itâs safe to say my life has always revolved around food.
Here are my top eats from last weekâŠ

Poke Bowl from PokeWorld
My coworkers started to rave about a poke bowl place so naturally, I had all the questions – the best protein, best add ons, the best sauce, etc. I was convinced after just a few bites and PokeWorld is a go-to spot for me.
Itâs to the point that the restaurant owners now know who I am. How? Because not only do I order from PokeWorld on (what seems like) a weekly basis, I get the same order, thanks to Grubhubâs handy express reorder capability of my exact delicious bowl. With all the topping options, my bowl typically consists of Âœ brown rice, Âœ greens, tofu, corn, pineapple, edamame, crispy onion, crispy garlic, almond, avocado topped with sesame seeds⊠with creamy sesame sauce on the side. Whenever I go in, Iâm greeted with the friendliest hello and my meal is always readyâjust waiting for me at their designated pick up spot. (Note: Thereâs a little check box to let them know if you donât need utensils. Perfect if youâre taking it back to the office and have your own to use!)

Country Road Sandwich from Backcountry Delicatessen
Iâm the person who lives by a paper planner and enjoys having my day, week or month planned out in advance. So, when I see a day full of meetings with a short window for lunch, you betcha Iâll be ordering my food for a designated time.
Backcountry Delicatessen is just a few blocks from our Denver office so Iâm an avid user of scheduling my pickup time. Say hello to the Country Road sandwich: chicken breast, gouda, oven roasted tomatoes, red onion, field greens, pesto mayo – yum.
Something that surprised me was that Backcountry will keep your sandwich waiting for you in a refrigerator! If you got it toasted, they keep it in the back, where I assume they keep it warm. Also, if youâre trying to âsave half of it for laterâ – trust me, wonât work. Their sandwiches are so yummy that youâll inhale it.

Chicken Tikka Masala from Little India Restaurant & Bar
After a nice 80Âș weekend, Sunday scaries were real. The solution? Some delicious chicken tikka masala from Little India Restaurant & Bar!
Itâs so nice to use Grubhubâs map to figure out which restaurants are located around my neighborhood. Luckily, Little India is just a short drive away so I opted for pickup. I showed up a few minutes early but my order was ready to go, and by the time I got home to unpack the deliciousness, everything was still warm! Iâm currently writing this on a full stomach (AKA that infamous food coma), but worth every bite.
If youâre not sure where to eat, be sure to utilize the map to see whatâs near you (if you want to hit your 10K steps) or get the estimated delivery times. If youâre in the Denver area, be sure to check out these three restaurants!
