Similar to the Alameda burrito tunnel that sends fresh Mission burritos to NYC: https://idlewords.com/2007/04/the_alameda_weehawken_burrito_...

You'd think they would have figured out a way to send pizza back the other way, given California's deficit.

They tried, but pizza is the wrong shape. In early tests, calzones from new york had some success but the market demand wasn’t there for the new-zone, so it never took off.

And some New York-style Chinese food. Bay food might be authentic but sometimes you just need some properly deep-fried sweet-and-sour pork.

Looks like PBS tried to get in on the story, but frankly, they didn't do a very good job of it:

In Christchurch, New Zealand, we have a cafe that send you your burger through a pneumatic tube system... Ton Scott did a video about it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTHZLKFblKo

No-one has thought to just open a burrito joint in NYC?

The food would be fresher, I hope.

It's not real - but imagine if it were!
