The co-owner of the local business Madtown Munchies will spend the month of February eating food exclusively from his on-campus delivery service.
Jeremy Neren, a 2005 UW-Madison graduate, hopes his munchie diet"" will help both new and old customers understand the variety of Madtown Munchies's products. The company offers a variety of food and miscellaneous household items for delivery in 30 minutes or less.
Brian Elliott, a junior at UW-Madison and one-time user of Madtown Munchies, said it was a good service and user-friendly.
""It was similar to going online and buying other items, like from Amazon,"" Elliot said. ""The only thing that isn't that nice is that you have to have a minimum order of a certain amount. So if you just want a snack, it's not as convenient.""
Neren said he hopes to clear any misconceptions that only unhealthy food is served. Although Madtown Munchies delivers snacks such as ice cream and chips, it also has organic, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. According to Neren, Madtown Munchies listens closely to customer feedback and adds products to suit customer demand.
Throughout the month, Neren will provide daily blog updates about his food habits on Madtown Munchie's website, www.madtownmunchies.com.
Sivan Levaton-Carignan, Neren's business partner, shares his excitement for the project.
""It is going to show that Madtown Munchies delivers easy-to-make meals all night long, every day of the week,"" she said. Madtown Munchies delivers free of charge via bicycle to the downtown area from the Capitol to Camp Randall. Neren said he would not be tempted to stray from the strict diet because ""what we offer fits our personality and what we enjoy.
