Every Thursday, a different SeamlessWeb customer tells us all about how he or she orders from the site. If you pay close attention here you just might learn something. This week we have Ilan, a sheets-selling entrepreneur and crusader for the end of sauce/soup segregation in the hearts and minds of the American public.
Name: Ilan
Age: 25
Occupation: Sheets King of New York (check out BombSheets.com). I also work at Google sometimes.
How and When Did You Discover SeamlessWeb? Hashem told ME about SeamlessWeb when I was a slave in Egypt. If you were there, God would not have told you about SeamlessWeb (Get it? The questioner here is Passover’s wicked son!)
Where Do You Use SW? My lap? New York? What kind of question is this? (Ed: Both “my lap” and “New York” are acceptable answers.)
Favorite Kind of Food: Sauce. Actually it’s a tie between sauce and soup (on a technicality — they’re the same thing).
Least Favorite Kind of Food: I will eat anything that doesn’t have a stinger.
Favorite Place(s) to Order From on SW? Atlas Cafe (Tunisian Tuna Wrap), Kool Bloo (Pulled BBQ Chicken Wrap), Akina (Salmon Sashimi)
Least Favorite Thing About Calling Restaurants? Don’t ask me if that’s my area code. You’ll know when I finish saying numbers.
Closest Previous Brush with Internet Fame? I made a subtle change to the BombSheets twitter icon, and there were literally thousands of reporters waiting outside my apartment that day.
Favorite Celebrity Chef? Eric Ripert. Love his dismissive/smug face.
Favorite Cartoon Growing Up? Garfield. No one else is even close. (Ed: Not even Heathcliff? Did you know that he actually predated Garfield?!)
What Superpower Do You Wish You Had? I wish I never had to pee.
In the Past Year, What’s the Latest You’ve Stayed Up and Why? I pulled an all-nighter recently just diddling around on the internet. At 6 AM, I found myself watching a 10 minute YouTube video of a guy giving his kids a tap vs. bottled water taste test – low moment for me.
Plans for Tonight? Couch, Slanket, baby carrots, and a dramatic reading of Albert Speer’s Inside the Third Reich.

I’ve been telling people for years that soup and sauce are the same thing. It’s good to know that there are others in my camp. Great interview SW.
