Back in September, I began searching for a food delivery service for reasons of convenience and to…read morestop myself from eating so much! The criteria were: (1) good food, (2) portion controlled entrees, and (3) reliable delivery. Early in 2010 my favorite food delivery company sadly went out of business. My first rebound was with Choice Eating, which proved to serve tasteless and sometimes inedible dishes. Fortunately, Eat Like the Pros fits all of my criteria. Here's the process: Their website lists all of the entrees (breakfast, lunch/dinner, snacks) that are available during a specific week (the menu changes weekly). Each item is available in different portions (ex. 300, 600 calories, etc.) that you can choose from. After you choose your items via their website, your delivery is at the front door around 5:30 a.m. It's that simple; you never have to wait for a delivery guy. Most importantly, the food is spectacular. It's like having your own personal chef where YOU get to choose what you want to eat (instead of having one prefix menu). My favorite entrees include the beef stew, thai coconut chicken, and the brisket. I highly recommend this service for busy professionals or those who need a little portion control to lose weight.

I have been on a delivery meal plan off and on for 2 years or so. The problem with said plan, same…read morething every 5 weeks and you did not have any options. This plan also was 3 meals a day for 7 days. I felt horrible wasting food if I had a dinner planned. So, I started the search for an alternative meal program and found Eat Like the Pros. The delivery dates are Monday (order by 10am Friday) and Thursday (order by 10am on Monday). I am so impressed with the quality of food. Everything is flavorful and fresh. There are plenty of options in each category: entrees, veggies, starches, breakfast, snacks, etc. And a variety of calorie counts depending on what your need is. Everything has been delicious and made me think...how did they get all of that flavor into a 225 calorie piece of fish or chicken. They deliver the food in a cooler bag with ice packs. You leave your bag out the night of a deliver and the driver swaps out the empty bag with ice packs for a bag with food & ice packs. Very simple. They deliver (usually) by 6am. I think the cost is reasonable for the quality of the food and compared to some of the other organic programs. There is no minimum order. I tend to use Eat Like the Pros more for dinner meals, some lunches, and snacks. I am on my own for breakfast and some lunches. I am very happy and excited to try new meals. The other positive is this program is gluten free and soy free. The prior plan I was on included a lot of breads and pastas. I do eat gluten...but it is much more limited now. I feel so much better on this program and have more consistent energy. Highly recommend!

When I'm in the area, I enjoy stopping by here to shop. Every item offered for sale here is vetted…read morevery well. Time and effort was placed into this process. The selection of bread, cheese, wine, and produce is great. Publican baked bread alone is a very good reason for stopping in. They are the best bakery in the Chicago area. The wine selection here is not typically what you find at the big box stores. Whoever does the selecting deserves a pat on the back because everything that I have purchased has skewed on the very good to excellent. As a result, I try to stop in whenever I am in the area and have a time. Everyone should make an effort to support local grocers. I bet if you stop in, you will not regret it.

At first, I was bothered by the lack of nutrition labels on their meals and thought it would be a…read moredeal-breaker. Although, when you stop and really look at the meals they offer, it's clear that they are nutritionally-sound meals probably in the 350-500 calorie range which is a range that's good for me. The food is VERY good, and you feel like you did something really good for yourself today when you eat one. Just had their Chicken Salsa meal for lunch and it was delicious and included roasted red and green peppers! Every meal has been excellent.

I am SO HAPPY to have found Chef Meals on the Go! There's a number of great things about this…read moreamazing company: Firstly, EVERYTHING is remarkably fresh. Even the seafood. I'm not normally a fan of seafood, but I have honestly eaten every bite that they've served me. I haven't had shrimp that fresh since I lived in Asia. And the vegetables are crisp and fresh, too. Secondly, the price is AMAZING for what you get, especially with inflation these days. If I were to order a very basic fast food meal from a delivery service, I'd expect to pay a minimum of $23 for each meal including the fees. The flat rate of $78 for six meals is INCREDIBLE for what you get. Thirdly, it's convenient. I don't need to (1) shop for groceries, (2) prepare the food and (3) clean up afterwards. Everything is taken care of. The microwave is the most complicated thing I'll have to deal with. And lastly, the portion sizes are perfect. It's just enough to fill me up without any leftovers. I'm eating EVERYTHING in the dish and nothing is going to waste. As someone who's recovering from serious illness and surgeries, this company has been a godsend. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Then for dinner they served everything in clay cazuelas, brought their own decorations, servers, and packed up the leftovers for us. They made everything so easy and worry-free and the food was to die for. I froze some leftovers so I can eat it whenever I want :))) oh and they were cooking the tortillas fresh and they were some of the best corn tortillas I have literally ever had. So soft and tasty.

When I asked her for the invoice, she sent it to me within five minutes!! As soon as I paid her, she confirmed to where I was going to and what time I could pick up!

When prepping for a show, there is no room for errors. The customer service is excellent. Kendall also helped me to ship the meals to my daughter and her roommate in Indiana. The girls love the meals too and shipping was a very reasonable cost. The menu changes monthly, so you don't get tired of the same food. There are regular menu items too and every meal is customizable to your preference of protein and carbs. I can say that the meal service has really come in handy during busy times when I'm not able to do my own meal prep. Kendall and Linda run a great local business. I would recommend the service to anyone looking for a great tasting, nutritional meal prep service. No contracts or subscriptions required either like some other meal services. You just order when you want to order. I've been a customer for a couple of years now.
