Let’s Dish! Food for Thought » Dear Mom and Dad, Please Send Food

Many college kids eat a lot of day-old pizza and hot dogs and other questionable fare. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In the 4 years Let’s Dish! has been open, we’ve noticed a clear trend: Let’s Dish! food being consumed by college students. Typically, the parents buy the food for their son or daughter over school holidays and breaks and then the student takes the food back to school in a cooler.

Great thinking (guess that college education is paying off!) Relative to other options for students, Let’s Dish! offers value, ease, and nutrition. Meals can be split (perfect for singles) or dished in full, regular sizes (perfect for roommates and suites). Students often have adequate fridge and freezer space, but smallish kitchens, so it’s much easier to have complete meals on hand rather than having to store ingredients. And what college student wants to shop anyway! The whole thing has gotten even easier this year with our launch of DishDelivery. Now parents are shipping meals directly to their kids at school. (We ship next day Fedex Ground in insulated boxes with ice packs and can reach schools in a very big geography– as far north as Hartford, CT and Albany, NY and as far south as Raleigh and Winston Salem, NC). How’s that for the ultimate care package!

Here’s what some parents have said to us:

- “I rest easy knowing that Jenn is eating well. I worry about her much less.”

- “I like that John is developing good food habits. He’s more aware of his food and he’s learning to function better in the kitchen.”

- “I like that Jessica can cook the meals with her friends in her suite. It’s a nice social situation and they can all share the cost.”

So, college students, ask your parents for the “Ultimate Care Package”– Let’s Dish! meals– and you’ll be saving time and eating and feeling better. Parents, rest easy knowing your kids are eating well and therefore taking full advantage of that great education you are paying for!
