Many of you are already doing it– we’re seeing marked increases in the interest in and attendance at our Kids’ Sessions. We’re also noticing more parents bringing their kids to regular sessions.
(A quick reminder of the “rules” for “Little Dishers”– As a general rule, kids need to be at least 8 years old to […]
Some of you veterans have heard us say this before, but I think it’s so important that I’m going to say it once more, with feeling: “Take Let’s Dish! meals to the beach with you this summer!” Please, just trust me. You won’t regret it. It will save you money, eliminate stress, and make your […]
I like shredding. It helps protect against identity theft. And I must admit it’s kind of fun. But it also takes a lot of time (esp if you have a 4-page-at-a-time shredder and hundreds of credit card solicitations).  Well, Let’s Dish! is all about saving you time (and money), so I am proud to help […]
My partners and I started this company back in the fall of 2004 and we’ve come a long way. From a single store in Timonium, MD, we now have 5 stores humming along in MD and VA. From a small gaggle of owners and a few early die-hards, we now employ over 300 folks on […]
Joseph Joubert wrote “Children need models rather than critics.” It’s long been one of my favorite quotes. I like it because it’s undoubtedly true. And also because it can be so hard to live up to, so I need the reminder. I bet many of you, like me, find yourselves almost […]

Most of us owe a whole lot to our parents and grandparents. They raised us and provided for us and so sometimes it’s nice to give back. We’ve realized that Let’s Dish! can help with that.
Since we opened in 2004, we’ve had a loyal following of seniors who truly adore our product. They typically split […]

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 […]

It’s hard to turn on the TV or open a newspaper without a reminder of the economic challenges our nation is facing. As the turmoil on Wall Street hits home on Main Street, more families are turning to Let’s Dish! for a solution. Here’s why:
Let’s Dish! costs less than dining out. What was the check […]
It started out as “8 or 12″ dishes per Let’s Dish! session. Then, with much fanfare, we added 4-meal sessions. And this spring, SingleDish Trials.
And now, welcome to the final frontier of session flexibility. Dish however many meals you want: 1, 3, 7, 14 or anything in between. OK, our technology is limited, so you […]

I heard about RealAge from Newt Gingrich. Seriously, I did! Back in 2006, we won a US Chamber of Commerce Award for our Let’s Dish! stores in the mid-Atlantic and were named one of the top small businesses in the country. (We won again in 2007- how’s that for patting ourselves on the back!). Anyway, in 2006, Newt […]

As consumers, parents, and citizens, we at Let’s Dish! were all alarmed by the recent beef recall. Our immediate action was to contact our suppliers to verify that Let’s Dish! product was unaffected by this scare. Indeed, the plants from which we source our beef are nowhere near the problem facilities - either in terms […]

Today’s post is actually written by my father, Rick Corcoran, Sr. When I sign my name, I use “Jr.” to distinguish myself from my dad, but I am actually “Richard J. Corcoran IV”, the fourth generation with the name. It’s an honor to be part of this lineage, but there is one downside: in addition […]

Rachel Rosenthal shared a great idea that really got me thinking. At first glance, it’s a simple system for reducing clutter. But it makes me think of more– things like the value of recycling and even the challenge of teaching our kids discipline and delayed gratification. Before I complicate things and wax a bit philosophical, […]

Janet and I must think alike -Â I’ve actually been using this tip for years:
When going to the grocery store you should always make your list following the layout of the store. As an example, if you enter your favorite store in the produce department, your list should begin with produce items. This will save you time searching through […]

Yikes. Tax time is upon us again. I know because in the last week, I’ve received all manner of tax statements, requests for tax statements, and warnings about requests for tax statements. Not to mention, estimates of taxes owed. Ouch, not fun!Â
For most of my life, this time of year was easy because I’m a […]

I absolutely LOVE Jeff Ward’s Resolution Solution because it combines two of my favorite problem-solving activities: writing on whiteboards and thinking in the shower. I am am unrepentant whiteboard addict ever since my days as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group earlier in my career (where Jeremy Kugel and I met, by the way). We […]
