Uber is trying again to acquire a food delivery rival after it wiped out on its last attempt earlier this year. The company said today it plans chow down on Postmates in a deal valued at $2.6 billion.

The companies announced the all-stock transaction this morning. Uber said the companies' businesses are "highly complementary," as they have different customer bases in different parts of the country. Uber in its press release praised Postmates as "an early pioneer of 'delivery-as-a-service,'" a truly spectacular buzzword jam for our era.
