5:30 p.m. Stuck in traffic. Listen to rush-hour radio. Weigh dinner options. Cooking? Takeout? Compared to your perpetually empty fridge, it all sounds so good.

Except that at 6 you still haven’t moved an inch. And you’re ready to eat the guy in the car next to you.

Munching, you get the scoop on My Produce Guy, a.k.a. Richard Levine and Terry Shirley. When they’re not delivering gorgeous tomatoes, cauliflower, fresh eggs, and more to schools and eateries like Rathbun’s, they’re dropping insulated packages (which can sit for up to six hours outside) to homes like yours.

“Place your order tonight, and we’ll have it to you next day at noon,” they say, tipping their hats.

Looks like risotto primavera is just around the bend.

Now that’s news that sits well with your stomach.
