First, we get acquainted! You tell us about your family, your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes/dietary restrictions and of course, any food allergies you may have! Together we’ll determine which menu and package is right for you - Chef’s Choice or Custom. Then we’ll set up your delivery date (we delivery every Wednesday) and call you one day ahead of time to remind you and give you a tighte delivery window in which to expect us. In a few days we’ll follow up with you to answer any questions and see how you’re enjoying the service. We welcome your feedback, as it is our goal to provide you with the best service possible. After the initial delivery you may decide to be put on the regular schedule so that you are guaranteed uninterrupted service. Whether you prefer weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, no contract is necessary! We do ask however, that you give us as much notice as possible before canceling. Orders canceled within 48 hours of delivery are subject to a cancellation fee. In addition, we do have a $35 delivery charge for the Chapel Hill, Durham, Wake Forest and outer Triangle areas.
We have several packages to fit everyone’s varying needs. Our first package is a Chef’s Choice package. This menu is decided upon by the Chef and is subject to change. The delivery days are each Wednesday of every week. Your meals will be delivered with a complete menu and oven-ready instructions.
Our other option is customized menus. We provide you with plenty of options and make a new menu for you consisting of 5, 6, 8 and 10 entrees. The 5-menu option comes with either 2 or 4 servings of each entree, whereas the 6, 8 and 10 entree option comes with 6 servings of each.
Some of our menu items are considered one-bowl meals (e.g. Grandma’s Stuffed Peppers: the pepper and tomato sauce fill the vegetable requirement, the turkey and brown rice filling is considered your protein and starch and the cheese would be your dairy serving) other menu items such as Chicken Saltimbocca would be accompanied with sides.
Chef Mario’s meals have a suggested 5-day shelf life when refrigerated properly, however disposal is at your discretion. If you prefer to freeze some or all of the items, we suggest defrosting them in the fridge for 24-48 hours before heating. We do not recommend defrosting the items on your kitchen counter or microwaving them in their frozen state.
