Chef Paul Gordon trained at the Culinary Institute of America and has 25+ years of culinary experience, working his way from Executive Chef to General Manager of 13 locations. Today he cooks every meal from scratch for the Twin Cities, using local ingredients and the same professional standards he built his career on.

Chef Gordon blends Mediterranean, Asian, American, and European flavors into a menu of 8+ meal options, so you never get stuck eating the same thing every week.

No guessing and no tracking headaches. Every meal is built with up to 50g of protein per meal, kept under 550 calories, and includes real fiber to keep you full longer.

Every meal is packed into a generous 24oz portion, big enough to actually fill you up.

Every meal is made from scratch with local ingredients. Never frozen, never canned, and never pre-made, so every order is day-fresh.

Every meal comes in an airtight, microwave-safe container. Heat it up and it's ready to eat.
Two ways to get your meals: home delivery anywhere in the Twin Cities metro area, or pickup at a time that fits your day.
Pick your meals. Chef Gordon cooks. You heat and eat.
Order by 12 PM, two days before your delivery or pickup day.
Every meal is cooked from scratch, never mass-produced.
