Here's the overview.

quote:

Plated delivers a weekly box of fresh and seasonal ingredients, pre-portioned so you can cook chef-designed recipes at home.

Choose. Each week, discover inspiring new recipes and seasonal, fresh ingredients.
Customize. Select your weekly number of plates and delivery day.
Cook & Enjoy. Explore new cooking techniques and cook healthy meals at home.



My wife has done a couple. One while I was out of town and last night she did a "Braised Chicken with Potatoes and Massaman Curry". It was pretty good. She has zero instincts but can follow a recipe to a T, so this is right up her alley. Not really my style of cooking though. Seems a little goofy, but it's pretty neat that they can get you every single thing you need to your door step without having to go to the store. Anybody else use this?

I think y'all Ray Vegas folks are on the cuttin' edge of something new, as usual, Mr. Balls.

I think she actually got the idea from the uppity sister in law over there on the North Side. Culinary Mecca strikes again..

I order pre-portioned meals from Fresh Direct every so often. They're more expensive, but are generally good and worth it, IMO since I often work late.

Stuff they send (chicken comes vacuum packed, it was in the fridge)




Kid proof instructions.


My bowl


It wasn't bad at all. But I had a venison roast on stand by just in case

Those services are a way to up charge for normal food. No one who started plated is either a cook or a farmer. They just thought it up in a business school.

How much did that meal cost? You can probably buy most of that for $10-15

I looked at it a while back. Seems as though they wanted to continue to charge your card monthly for service. Check into it.

Mamaw knew I was marrying a non-cooker. She didn't understand it, but she knew. Why she's rolling over is my little non cooker decided to try her hand at a mossimoan or whatever the hell curry instead of some dumplins or turnip greens .

posted this in an earlier thread...

I remember seeing this pitch on Shark Tank where Mark Cuban eventually offered what they were asking and ended up winning a share of he business.

2 extremely smart guys run this company, as you'll see.
