A poor student here has offered something similar: you pay for the food, he'll come cook for you, if he can join you for dinner. He got thousands of requests (see http://politiken.dk/indland/ECE1778538/halvfattig-tilbyder-a... )
Someone has taken the idea and try to scale it since: http://www.facebook.com/cook4food
It's social, it's local, it's mobile, it's cooking!

One of my previous employer's clients was a company that did exactly this. I don't remember their name, or how well they were doing, but I thought that the idea was a pretty good one.
The only problem I saw was that their meals were typically fairly expensive, to the point where you could probably eat out every day for less money.
Ding, I smell a business idea:
OurChef: You want good dinners, and you want a life. We want to sell you good dinners. OurChef is your personal caterer, with authentic quality ingredients.
