"We're committed to finding new ways to connect our diners with great local restaurants so that they can discover the food they want, whenever the craving hits," said Barbara Martin Coppola, CMO, Grubhub.

Methodology:
Grubhub's talented team of data analysts looked at usage of the Express Reorder, Preorder and Pickup features of the Grubhub platform from July 2016 to July 2017. The superlative-style rankings of cities were determined by comparing each city's orders to those of Grubhub diners across the nation. The most popular dish per feature was determined by orders placed using that feature in a particular city versus a standard (not using the feature) order placed in the same city. Male versus female order habits were determined by analyzing the order data of males in comparison to females on the Grubhub platform.
