We got lots of great responses to our Fathers Day essay contest, and today seemed like, well, the perfect day to share them with you all. Â One qualifying entry was selected at random, and the writer received a gift code she could use for a free four-dish session at Let’s Dish! To […]
You may have noticed something new on our website- it’s called “Live Chat” and it’s meant to make your shopping experience easier and more pleasant.
Have you even been on letsdish.com and unable to find exactly what you were looking for? Maybe it’s whether we can deliver as far as NJ (good news, we can) or […]
We’re always looking for new ways to delight our customers, especially our regulars. We’ve increased the new entrees on our menu (have you seen Pretzel-Dusted Chicken Tenders with Raspberry Honey-Mustard on June’s menu?), added more ways to earn DishPoints, and made it easier than ever to afford a session — our “Halves” program, offers you […]
Mothers are part of our every day at Let’s Dish!. Despite the growing ranks of dad- and “nonparent”- dishers, moms remain the core of our business. After all, who better to ensure the family comes together around a fresh wholesome dinner each evening?
Today we thank our moms for all the times they put our well-being […]

We thought this comment — simply cut and pasted from our customer survey — was, well, priceless!
“I brought my 14 year old daughter this dish session. Her initial response to my invitation to join me was met with teenage rebellion. I don’t want to give up my Saturday morning, I want to sleep in, etc. […]

Let’s Dish! is now on Twitter! What’s Twitter? According to Wikipedia, “Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.”
So what does that mean? Well, we’re not really sure. But if […]

Thanks to our new friends at Agence France-Presse for coming to check out Let’s Dish! Alexandria. Our French isn’t so good, but we’re pretty sure they liked what they saw…
(Let’s Dish! of MD and VA was featured in a video segment by the leading French news agency. Unfortunately, that video is no longer available. But […]

As you know, we get tons of feedback each month. One common request has been for us to offer 4, 8 or 12 ”half-meals” at a Let’s Dish! session. Unlike traditional “splitting”, where dishers get two of each half-sized meal, “halving” (so to speak) would provide more variety by allowing dishers to make just one half (not […]

As regular dishers know, we send a survey to every customer following their In-Store, Dish-n-Dash or DishDelivery session. You may not realize that we get over 1000 completed surveys each month… and we read every single one! Your feedback has been essential in helping us develop some of our new services and programs, including:

Judging by the popularity of our Parent/Kid sessions, we knew we were onto something. But even we were surprised and delighted to find we’d been “secret shopped” by Joyce Hesselberth of the popular “Kid Baltimore” blog. “Restaurant-quality food”, she wrote after bringing her daughter to dish on July 31st; “directions are super clear, […]

Man, we love getting emails like the one below. While I personally am a documented aficionado of our S’mores Pie, Julie W makes a strong case for the creamy cool richness of Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie. Which is better? See for yourself! Just print this blog post and bring it into […]
Sides, sides everywhere!
The customer feedback has come in loud and clear. Sugar Snap Peas, Sweet Potato Fries, Exotic Grains and Fire Roasted Vegetables. You love our sides, and you want more of them.
We hear you.  And we’ve responded by including more sides as part of the regular Let’s Dish! menu.  We’ve added Sugar Snap Peas to […]
Solutions to Fit Your Busy Lifestyle
Everyone loves meals you can cook straight from frozen. Schedules change, the dog needs to be walked, you haven’t had your coffee. Sometime you forget to start thawing a meal in the morning.  Who could blame you?
Not us, that’s for sure. You’ll now find on our menus a greater selection […]
Relax-the-max on most Let’s Dish! meals
Due to popular demand (i.e., yours!) we have relaxed our limits on the maximum quantity of any individual meal you can order at a session.Â
For many meals, we have set the max at 4 (or 8 splits). A few meals have lower maximums, either because they take longer to dish […]
You know about DishRewards. That’s the program we launched this spring, where you earn DishPoints (good as cash on www.letsdish.com) for doing all the things you love: dishing, recommending Let’s Dish! to friends, hosting parties, dishing some more, etc. DishPoints stack up quickly (we’ve already given away well over a million of them!). Real customers […]
