Amazon Prime Users in L.A. Can Order Delivery Food Now

Amazon is expanding its Prime Now service to include food delivery from restaurants in Los Angeles. Prime Now is Amazon’s one-hour expedited one-hour delivery service that is being tested in large urban centers. The new service delivers food from beloved L.A. restaurants like Umami Burger, Baby Blues BBQ, Feast from the East, and many more. Prime customers in L.A. can also order groceries from stores like Sprouts and Erewhon Organic Grocer.
