A food access network

Food providers
Shared menus for the food people already know
A Food Provider is the canonical source of food: a restaurant, a chef, a food truck, a home kitchen, an employee cafeteria, or a recurring local seller.
The menu belongs to the provider; the offer belongs to the person.
Each provider has a community-maintained menu. Users improve it over time with items, prices, photos, availability, and notes. Then people attach themselves to the provider by saying, "I can offer food from this place."
