So, frustrated, you decide to stay in and cook. You go to a recipe site, and find something you like.

@ianrogers @PavelASamsonov Try this web site:

There's a Chrome extension that does the same thing, but this will work with any browser.

Me: I wonder whatโ€™s on their menu.
Website: Start online order or delivery?
Me: Fine; if it lets me see the menu, letโ€™s pretend Iโ€™m starting an online order.
Website: Weโ€™re sorry, online ordering is not available at this time.
