Why it’s different

Not a stranger with a phone.

Your order goes out with the same driver, week after week. They learn your name, your street, and which door you actually use.

For a lot of our customers, especially the ones ordering for a parent, that familiar face is a big part of why they order at all. Someone is checking in every Wednesday, and it’s the same familiar face.

How it works

Order Saturday, eat Wednesday.

One cutoff, one delivery day. It keeps the cooking fresh and the route tight, which is how we keep the fee low.

01 / ORDER BY SATURDAY

Place your order

Anything ordered by Saturday goes into Wednesday’s cook. The kitchen builds the week’s production around what’s been ordered.

02 / WE COOK WEDNESDAY

Made that morning

Nothing sits waiting. Your food is made for the day it goes out, then packed for the route.

03 / ARRIVES 2 TO 4PM

Wednesday afternoon

We recommend someone is home. It’s refrigerated food, and it shouldn’t sit on a porch on a warm afternoon.

Delivery fee

A flat fee by distance. That’s all.

The fee covers fuel and the driver’s time, nothing more. There is no service charge, no tipping and no surcharge at checkout.

$75 minimum

Delivery orders start at $75. Below that, pickup is always an option and always free.

13 miles, measured driving

The radius is calculated from the kitchen at 2409 Eastern Ave SE. Your exact fee shows at checkout once you enter your address.

No tipping

Our drivers are paid by us. The flat fee is the whole cost, and we’d rather keep it that way.

Pickup

Or come see us.

Pickup is free, has no minimum, and is open to anyone. Order ahead and collect it, or skip the order form entirely and shop the deli case, which is stocked with entrées and sides all week.

ORDERED AHEAD

Orders placed the week before are ready Wednesday after noon, and stay available Thursday and Friday.

JUST STOPPING IN

No order needed. The deli case is stocked Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm.

WHERE TO FIND US

2409 Eastern Ave SE, Grand Rapids, in Alger Heights.

Before you order

How much, and what to expect.

Choose individual items from the monthly menu, in the serving size that suits your household.

Serving sizes

A single serving will feed one adult. As a rule of thumb, under 5 or over 80, a single serving may feed two.

Fresh or frozen?

Everything arrives fresh with a cook-or-freeze-by date on each package. You decide what to eat today and what to freeze for later.

Everything is labelled

Cooking directions and all ingredients are listed on the package label.

When your order is ready. All orders are ready on or after Wednesday. We’ll email or call you the week of your order to confirm a delivery time.

We handle our own deliveries. We are not affiliated with any of the restaurant delivery companies like GrubHub or DoorDash. Some of these companies have listed us without our consent.

Order by Saturday for Wednesday.
