I told my best friend that I'd be bringing home Chinese Food after my concert & that I'd drop some off at her home.
Her b/f told me that she's going out shopping, but doesn't know what time I'd be at her place. She said to him.'If I'm out I"m not going to rush home just for that, I'll go to her place & pick it up"
In honesty, that stung. If someone were bringing me food so I don't have to bother
cooking, I'd make sure I was home. Would you say something, or just let it go?
Should I say something, or just let it go?

Most people hardly appreciate food these days. For example, in a certain high tech company I know, they receive a certain monthly budget for ordering take away; So they order whenever they might come, and if they end up not having a shift they just leave them untouched, by the dozens.
If you had been planning to dine together (emphasis on "planning"), you'd have some social grounds for taking offence, but as it stands this is the norm.
If you are in USA we have very poor social training, so people often give wrong impressions by their behavior. Since you call this girl a friend, you should let her pass on this. It's the friend that's important, not the food. Food is an important part of building a friendship, but it's not more important than the friendship.
