For Uber Eats, that has resulted in a more than a 30 percent increase in orders from independent restaurants since mid-March, the company told Travel + Leisure. And through the pandemic, people’s cravings have remained varied, but largely focused on comfort food with French fries and crab rangoon being popular choices. “This health crisis has impacted the lives of millions of people who work in the restaurant industry, including our delivery people, and we want to do what we can to support them when it matters most,” Janelle Sallenave, the head of Uber Eats for the U.S. and Canada, told us. “We've seen our customers ordering a variety of their local favorites, and that's one huge way to help the restaurant community.” In an effort to help promote local businesses, Uber Eats has also waived delivery fees for independent restaurants and created an in-app feature so people can donate directly to restaurants. According to the delivery company, French fries were the most popular dish ordered in March, followed by pad Thai and garlic naan. While soda was the No. 1 beverage ordered, that was followed by international drinks, including Thai iced tea and horchata, a traditional sweet Mexican drink. Speaking of sweets, Uber Eats said the most popular desserts in March were tiramisu, baklava, and cheesecake, while soup-lovers turned to Chinese cuisine with wonton soup and hot and sour soup making up two of the three most popular options. Each state certainly has a favorite meal too. It’s no surprise that the most-ordered dish in Pennsylvania is the cheesesteak, but in Oklahoma, for example, people are craving spicy tuna rolls.
