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 […]
See this happy-looking guy? You can hardly tell that he reared two girls (his “two lovely daughters,” he calls us) and has been the target of many, “but, Dad…(insert angst-ridden sigh)” comments since the mid-1980’s, many of which I now wish I could take back.
Yup that’s my dad, and he’s enjoying Fusion Pork Tenderloin (and […]
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 […]
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. […]

If you were lucky, over the course of your many years as a student, you crossed paths with some great teachers. Great teachers are the ones whose names and classrooms you remember vividly all these years later. In the early years they likely greeted you with a bright classroom and a warm and friendly smile. […]
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 […]
I use my outdoor grill year round. I use it because I like the grilled flavor it adds to the food and, maybe more importantly, I use it because I embrace the concept of minimal mess. Why use a pot on the stovetop or a pan in the oven when I don’t have to? Many […]
OK – so I have a friend (working mom with 2 kids – she and her husband travel a ton for work) who I have been trying to get to Let’s Dish! for 4 years. For her 40th, a friend and I gave her a Let’s Dish! Gift Card. Screaming and kicking and complaining, she […]
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 […]
People are often surprised to learn that the Let’s Dish! meals they know and love are actually good for them. As I develop the monthly menus, I am fully aware that these are the meals you will be feeding your family. I want them to taste good (hey, we all know some picky eaters), but […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
We love moms. They look out for us. They consistently prioritize our needs (and wants) above their own. And they always seem to be there with a Band-Aid and a kiss. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for moms, and now that I have witnessed childbirth, midnight feedings, […]
In a recent Morning Edition segment on NPR, reporter Alix Spiegal explores the research that seeks to expand on the issue of family dinner and its benefits in a story called, “The Family Dinner Deconstructed.” According to Spiegal, researchers are now pushing further to ask: “Is it the mere act of eating together […]
