"There was a girl in Portland Before the winter chill…read moreWe used to go a-courtin' Along October hill" (Johnny Cash) We stopped in a few days ago and were very impressed by October Kitchen's variety, price, value, service, and most importantly, the quality of their foods, When you walk in you'll see a big menu board with today's listings, a freezer case and a refrigerated case loaded up with the foods. This made it pretty easy for us to review the menu and zero in on what we wanted, which was four items. Our server Anca was very pleasant and professional, and enhanced our entire consumer experience. We went with a small container of freshly made egg salad, a small container of grilled shrimp ($5), Meatballs with rice and vegetables ($13), and a frozen eggplant lasagna ($9). The egg salad was very good. Just egg and Light Hellman's Mayo and nothing else. It was a pretty much perfect batch, and a good convenient value at $5. The shelled "tail-on" grilled shrimp were five large nicely seasoned pieces that were delicious. We split the Asian Meatballs dish for dinner tonight. It was a big 19-ounce container with three Asian meatballs, rice, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots, squash, zucchini and scallions. A half portion was plentiful, the meatballs were excellent, and the sweet chili sauce added a zippy finishing touch. If the eggplant lasagna is half as good as the meatball dish, I'd be very happy. Some of the other intriguing listings we saw on their menu were Balsamic Shredded Beef, Turkey Cutlets with Fontina, Garlic Parmesan Flounder, Spanish Rice with Chicken & Shrimp, soups, salads, and desserts. Definitely worth your while to stop in and check out their grab and go goods.

This is such a great option to have in the freezer, when I know I won't be able to cook I can drop one of these flash frozen meals into the fridge the night before and the next day I can have it ready in minutes. My father in law is a rather picky eater, but he absolutely loves the meatloaf, pot roast and macaroni and cheese. I love that there's no commitment to a minimum number of meals, we can buy what we need, when we need it! Their prices are reasonable and the portions are perfect. We pick up our orders, but they do deliver and that charge is very reasonable. A great service we will definitely continue to use!

Just in time for your home delivery needs come the good folks at the Hartbeat Kitchen. On a weekly…read morebasis they will deliver fresh and fully prepped meals right to your doorstep in the metropolitan Hartford area and the city of New Haven. Check their website to see if your town makes the cut. Orders must be submitted by Saturday night to receive Monday delivery. These are healthy low-calorie and low carb meals. We ordered four entrees, and nothing exceeded 425 calories. In fact, two were in the 300's and one was below 300. Combine the convenience factor, the variety of options, the reasonable cost, and the health factor, you get a lot of pretty good reasons to order some meals from Hartbeat. So how does it work? Well their menu changes weekly, but entrees run $10 or $12 and these are some typical choices: Chicken Tenders, Cauliflower Mash, Braised Spinach Chicken, Bacon, Sweet Potato Hash Deconstructed Fish Tacos Pesto Chicken Pasta Pesto Shrimp Paleo Shepherd's Pie Shrimp and Broccoli Simple Salmon Simple Steak Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Wedges over Greens They also sell "components" for $3-$5 you can either add to a meal or use as a base for a meal you prepare - think side orders of Garlic Green Beans, Herbed Chicken Breast, Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Salmon, and Smashed Potatoes. This week I saw a soup on the menu (Red Curry Glass Noodle Soup) for $6 that must be a new addition because I didn't see it last week. For our inaugural order, we selected four entrees - Chicken Tenders with Cauliflower Mash & Braised Spinach, a Chicken, Bacon and Sweet Potato Hash, Deconstructed Fish Tacos, and Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon. I had the tacos and the salmon, and I thought they were excellent. I was a little skeptical about reheating fish in the microwave, but the instructions were spot on (I went on the low side of the time range) and they came out great. The sides and sauces were all very good too. My entrees came with a variety of string beans, riced cauliflower, black beans, and cole slaw. The sweet chili glaze for the salmon fillet was outstanding! You'll have to buy a nice insulated red bag for $10 with your first order. It comes with 2 freezer packs and will become your delivery point for future orders. Well done Hartbeat !! Welcome to our rotation.

Hartbeat Kitchen is an absolute life/marriage saver for working individuals, couples, and…read morefamilies--particularly those that have weird dietary needs. Owner Nancy Boone's food ranges from gluten-free to dairy-free to fully paleo, and each week the menu rotates enough to both access your favorites and keep things interesting. She sources from local farmers, so if you're in CT she provides a much more sustainable service than out-of-state food meal delivery services. Nancy continuously collects feedback about the meals and you can actually see the meals change slightly in response to that feedback--it's always getting a little better! Nancy designed the service to help working families--twice now I haven't gotten my order in on time, and she's accommodated me to the best of her ability so that I could still get a delivery. While I DON'T recommend forgetting to place your order on time (that makes her life a little harder), I've been so appreciative of her flexibility during these crazy and stressful times.

Yup, meals are $6 with a $10 delivery charge per order (not per meal). Deliveries are on Sunday and Monday, the idea is you can order for multiple meals all delivered at the same time. You can order at absalutekitchen@gmail.com Today I had 5 meals delivered: 1) Fajita Chicken, Yams, and veggies 2) Seasoned Chicken, Yams, and veggies 3) Green Curry Chicken, white rice and veggies 4) Chipotle Ground Chicken, brown rice and beans, and veggies 5) Seasoned Grilled Chicken, Roasted Red Potatoes, and veggies They offer 4 or 5 entrees a week with a choice of sides, you have to look at their social media platforms to see what's available. They don't have a website quite yet, buy can find them via their Facebook page or on Instagram @absalutekitchen So far I've tried their Green Curry Chicken and Chipotle Ground Chicken. They were packaged in a 6" X 9" plastic microwaveable tray. I really loved the Chipotle Ground Chicken and Rice and Beans- it had a lot of great flavor with some zip. The portions are pretty generous, the selection is vast, the value is excellent, the convenience factor is off the charts, and most importantly, the food tastes great. That makes Ab-Salute pretty hard to beat!

They do not take cash or in person orders, online only and there is no seating, just a counter with kitchen. I ordered a Sprout Bowl ($13 plus tax) choice of farro (I chose this), brown rice, mixed greens, or kale, grilled tofu, roasted carrots, bean sprouts, and roasted broccoli. It comes with miso sesame ginger dressing, but I substituted with green goddess dressing at no charge, since I enjoyed this dressing with my Melting Pot meal very recently. After I placed my order, it was supposed to be ready in 20 minutes, but I got a text a minute later indicating it was ready. I headed downstairs to the basement to pickup my order which was being packed. I did see a DoorDash order bagged sitting on the table too, so it must be popular for delivery. The Sprout Bowl was a good size and I smothered and dipped the fresh ingredients into the green goddess dressing (thick and creamy) for a very tasty lunch. The food sort of reminds me of b.Good and Sweetgreen bowls, which are also great for fresh and healthy bowls.

PQ H, David C and Robert O's reviews were accurate. I've never dealt with someone as rude and…read moreunprofessional as owner Lauren. Communication was scattered from the start but I started planning months out, so I wasn't concerned. As the event got closer I requested one detail - a contact number for either Lauren (owner) or the delivery person. This seems like a standard request for a caterer. It becomes a more important detail when the phone number listed for Chanterelle to Go had never been answered (called prob 25-30X) and when it took 10-14 days to get a response back from the owners. After multiple unanswered emails and voicemails requesting a contact number, I finally posted on Facebook literally begging for a response. What I got was unbelievable. Lauren called me. I thought she might say, 'Hey, sorry, I've seen your emails and heard your voicemails but I've been slammed. Not an excuse, but here is the number you need xxxxxx. We'll see you tomorrow!" Simple. Problem solved. Nope! She called and started yelling at me. She told me she had been working overtime and she heard me calling and she was too busy to answer. She said I had no business requesting a contact number and how dare I call and email multiple times. I think she was trying to embarrass me??? I don't know. I truly don't know how you can speak to a customer the way she spoke to me, especially when I was literally ONLY asking for a contact number!!! If you're so busy you don't babe She was so rude I was terrified she just wouldn't show up with the food day of. The food did show up. On time. It was good. Sad that the high quality of the food didn't even begin to make up for the stress and shock of working with Lauren. I would 100% not recommend using them if you have an event that is important to you and if you have high expectations for how to communicate with customers.

Here was the email we recieved a week and half before our wedding when we reached out to inquire why they had not responded in over two weeks, "...as I was going to let you know we were no longer interested in working your event. I believe you took our food catering service as a wedding planning service." [italics mine] Instead we used the Whole Foods in Hadley. Their staff were friendly, accommodating, and professional. We got many, many compliments on the food, it was about 1/4th the price Chanterelle To Go would have charged while also providing a wider variety for our guests. It featured some local products and seasonal foods. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
