I first tried Dream Dinners close to 3 yrs ago and the experience has never disappointed. The staff…read moreare friendly, helpful and I find the in-store assembly experience to be fun and straightforward. It was also nice to see a small business adapt so well during the pandemic and take customer safety and convenience so seriously..offering the service of assembling for us when we weren't comfortable being in-store or delivery were nice touches, and they really worked hard to still offer a variety of tasty meals amid country-wide supply-chain shortages. Some of my favorites have been the mini meatloaves, chicken pot pie puffs, and tacos. When you're tired at the end of the workday and have a family to feed, it's a relief to have delicious meals like these ready to be cooked in a short amount of time.

I have been a customer of this Dream Dinners franchise for almost 20 years. I have ordered meals…read moreand assembled them in house almost monthly for the last 20 years. I am an "Executive Chef" with Dream Dinners, and I have spent well over $20,000 at Dream Dinners over the years. The original owners sold to the present owner, Amy, a few years ago, and since then the business has gone down hill. We have had issues with the quality of the food, the assembly of the meals (haphazardly with missing ingredients), items constantly out of stock, and worst of all the new owner is rude, unpleasant, and does not care about the business. Her customer service skills are seriously lacking, and she does not want to hear any constructive feedback about her business. I responded to an e-mail today asking me to switch my scheduled appointment to make my meals in person (for the first since Covid) to an evening, (when I work). I told her that I could not make an evening appointment, and maybe the reason that Friday morning was so busy was because that she did not have enough in person spaces (she said they are very crowded on Friday morning). I also expressed my concerns about the haphazard way the meals have been assembled for the past 2.5 years (this is not the first time I have pointed this out to her staff) and she canceled my order! I had previously told her that I was moving, and this would be my last visit. She just cut off her nose to spite her face (and she lost a $500 plus order). What a jerk! What an unpleasant, short sighted, nasty woman! Good luck running your business into the ground!

I like the concept of the meal assembly kitchen. I could go to my local supermarket and spend lots…read moreof time and money to buy ingredients to make my favorite dishes OR go to Dream Dinners where all of the ingredients are there and ready to go with recipe cards at 6 salad bar type food prep statons. The staff is friendly and very helpful and will guide you along the way. A few months ago, I had obtained a $50 gift certificate from a local radio station to Dream Dinners at the Sebbins Brook Marketplace in Bedford. Last month, I decided to give Dream Dinners a try and booked my meals and night session online. By all means, the food here is not cheap with a 36 serving minimum required and up to 12 people per session, no young children allowed during the sessions. However, there is a competing meal assembly place that allows young children and all I can say is it's located in Manchester in a strip plaza with a very popular Mexican restaurant and a Japanese restaurant with a hilarious hostess. Be sure to bring a cooler or laundry basket to carry your meals away. I arrived here on a very chilly night and the staff let me in (doors are locked at night). I was given my assigned meal label stickers and given instructions by the staff. I had to put on an apron and wash my hands (very often between food stations). Each food station has recipe cards (3 or 6 servings) with the raw ingredients, spices & measuring cups/spoons/scoops all in place. Much of the food is prepared in Ziploc bags and/or aluminum pans. Most of the ingredients used are restaurant quality, but the meats including the chicken breasts, beef, and steaks are frozen, just average cuts of meats. When I was done putting together each dish, I put each labeled meal in the cooler, on the racks with my name. If a food station for one of my items was occupied, I had to move onto an available station for another item. There were also some stuffed shells to snack on during my short breaks. I had a great time putting together my awesome meals with very little effort and thought. It felt like I was Rachael Ray in Home Ec class. I was the only guy here and all of the others here were women, mostly wives (mid 20s to mid 40s). I finished assembling my 39 servings, in just under 2 hours. The staff gave me a cheat sheet with preparation methods/times and serving suggestions for my meals and helped me pack up my freezer-ready meals. The actual preparation of the meals at home was very simple and I just followed the instructions on the labels, whether it's prepared in the oven or by stovetop. The meals I had were very tasty including the Oven Baked Almond Chicken, Beef Pasta Bolognese, Creamy Tortellini with Bacon, Pork Paprika, Caribbean Jerk Chicken, White Chicken Lasagna, Arroz Con Pollo and New Orleans Jambalaya. The only meal that disappointed was the Grilled Steaks with Caramelized Onions since the grade of meat was not premium and I could buy a nice cut of steak at the market at a lower price. Dream Dinners did save me a lot of time, no hassle and no cleaning up the kitchen. I spent a total of $177 on 39 servings, less than $5 per serving.

Very cool way for restauranteurs to try out concepts. We came here to try Mexican tamales and…read moreponche (fruit tea). Very good, and a cool option to have -- sort of like a hacker space for chefs.

What is Kitchen inc? Why, it's a shared use catering…read morekitchen. Umm, what is that? Ah, well, it's a place where a small number of food related businesses share a certified kitchen space in a way that is both noninvasive to the separate businesses and supports and monetizes the space. Yup. Pretty awesome. A shared use food making space like Kitchen inc is such a recent idea that it is all still under construction, both in the physical space, and in the system structure. There is a sore need for kitchens that can be used by small food businesses, like caterers, or jam makers, or bakers. Sadly, there are few kitchens, and Kitchen Inc is the first and only of its kind in the area. My hope is that suddenly lots of people with money are going to realize that it is not impossible to build a shared use space and someone will build one for gluten free bakers, and one for raw food, and one for vegans and one for butchers and so on. Right now there is space at Kitchen inc only for occasional users. If you are looking for a place to cook and throw a party, or conduct a class, definitely get in touch through the website. Hooray for shared use kitchens!! Hip hip hoorah!

Excellent seasonal produce at this local farm stand. I was there the end of July she's I simply…read moreasked a worker what was grown locally. His manager came out and told me that the corn on the cob, the zucchini, and the pickling cucumbers were grown locally. I bought two of reach to take on my flight back to Florida. Usually I get a box of Italian pastry to bring home but this was even better. I was going to pickle the cukes, but after trying a slice, they were too good to pickle. I had one sliced with organic ranch dressing from Whole Foods. I boiled the fresh corn to go along with barbecue chicken and sautéed and zucchini with butter, garlic and usual seasoning. This stand is the same as I remember it as a child. It's clean and organized. They have the plenty of staff to keep the selection of fruits and vegetables fresh. I will be back soon.

It's not just a maze; it's a test of will and a challenge to your sense of direction. I'm pretty sure I saw a family celebrating their one-year maze-iversary in there. I emerged an hour later, a different man, covered in bits of corn stalk and existential dread. And the pumpkins? They're magnificent. I didn't just pick one; I was chosen. We locked eyes across the field, a giant, warty gourd and I. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated connection. I paid the very reasonable price and felt a sense of pride that I haven't experienced since I successfully parallel parked on the first try. In conclusion, S&S Farm is more than just a farm stand. It's a hilarious, humbling, and slightly muddy adventure. 10/10, would get lost in a corn maze again.
