Are the meal packaged individually?
No. All of our meals are packaged “family style” depending on the number of people in your plan. If you have a 4 person plan, your meal will contain 4 chicken breasts and sides for 4 people. This helps the environment by cutting down on the packaging and also saves more room in your freezer. You can purchase separate meals that are individually packaged if you’d like to use them for lunch or snacks.
What is included in your standard Meal Plan?
Your weekly plan will consist of 5 “family style” meals pre-portioned for the number of people in your family. If you have 4 people in your family, each family-style meal will include 4 chicken breasts and enough sides to feed 4. Our standard plan includes entrées and the chef-recommended side(s).
How many entree choices do I have?
You can choose from entrees in each of the following categories: Beef/Pork, Chicken, Fish/Seafood, and Pasta/Vegetarian. Our standard plan allows you to choose 2 meat/fish dishes, 2 chicken dishes, and at least 1 pasta/vegetarian dish. Substitutions may incur additional charges. Please see the chart below for details.
Can I choose my own sides?
Each family style meal comes with it's own chef-recommended side(s) designed to compliment that specific entree. If you would like to choose different sides, you can check the box indicating that you do not wish to receive the chef-recommended sides. Then you can go to the bottom of the order form to add your own sides from the list.
Do I have to order sides?
No. If you only want to order entrees, you can check the box indicating that you do not wish to receive the chef-recommended sides.

How do I prepare the meals at home?
Each family style meal will have cooking instructions printed on the label. Our meals are microwave and oven safe so you can heat and eat in minutes.
How long does it take to prepare a Chef Express Meal?

How do I pay for my meals?
We collect your credit card information securely over the phone during the sign up process. You place you order by Wed, and our chef prepares your gourmet meals over the weekend. The meals are ready to be picked up on Monday, but you can pick them up whenever it is convenient for you. On Monday night, we charge the credit card on file whether you picked up your food that day or not. All price adjustments based on additions or substitutions are included in the bill.
