🏠 Los Angeles, CA · MEHKO Licensed Kitchens
Order from MEHKO-licensed home cooks in your community. Authentic meals, made fresh, from someone who actually cares.
How It Works
No restaurants. No ghost kitchens. Just real people cooking real food from their own licensed home kitchens.
Browse MEHKO-licensed cooks near you. Filter by cuisine, rating, neighborhood, or availability.
Choose from their weekly menu. Every cook sets a limited daily menu — no mass production, ever.
Stripe-powered checkout. Your payment is held safely until your order is confirmed.
Coordinate directly with your cook for a pickup window or local delivery. Fresh, made for you.

Why FOODI is Different
California's AB 626 (MEHKO) law made home kitchen businesses legal. FOODI is the marketplace built to support them.
Every cook holds a valid county MEHKO permit. We verify before they list — no exceptions.
All cooks have passed a home kitchen health inspection and hold a Food Protection Manager Certification.
MEHKO law limits operators to 30 meals per day. We enforce this automatically in every cook's dashboard.
We don't own kitchens. We don't employ cooks. We enable ownership — for real people in real communities.
