    This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno…read moreand didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!)

    I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I…read morelove Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

    I recently used Farm to Feast to cater my daughter's Sweet 16. From start to finish, everyone at…read moreFarm to Feast was wonderful. Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

    I used Farm to Feast for a funeral reception recently and was disappointed in the quality of food…read more The mini cheesesteaks were not recognizable as such, yes they were mini, had expected at least 4". The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

    Unassuming office building cafe with fresh flower centerpieces on every table. :) Greeted by chef…read moreupon entrance and saw the ordering kiosk. Wanted a BLT without Ciabatta but no options for a different bread, bummer. I just ordered sans the mayo. Took my ticket and had a seat. The place is pretty sparse. I would think they use the kitchen to cook for their catering business as well. Heard the sizzling of bacon and about ~15 minutes after, I was handed my breakfast. I love that they use recyclable take-away containers. Upon inspection, I was blown away by the thick-cut bacon and crispy tender Ciabatta. I took my first bite and the crunch from the Ciabatta, salty thick bacon, thinly sliced tomato and lettuce, took me to my happy place. Many establishments tout thick-cut, quality bacon and fall short. Not WTC, the bacon was so good. I can just imagine it candied. Yummm. Needless to say, I enjoyed my BLT. I wish I could try it with their French toast and I wish they were open on the weekend, as I'm usually at work during their business hours.
