I've tried the answers with the attribute --data but neither works.
In fact the problem is that the --data will pass a string value to the framework. So if you write in your javascript file:console.log(typeof(event));, you will get String instead of Object. Which means serverless framework doesn't transform the input to a JSON object correctly. That's why you got xx of undefined error.

My solution is to use the -p(or --path) attribute. In your example, follow these steps:

1. create a .json file at the current location of your console. eg: test.json
2. in the json file write: {"pathParameters":{"food_id":"100"}}
3. in the js file, to get the food_id, use event.pathParameters.food_id
4. run command: sls invoke local -f yourFunction -p test.json
