The Fish That Got Away (for now)

You may be wondering why our recent menus have not featured Let’s Dish! signature salmon dishes.  Believe me, we miss it as much as you do.  That said, I wanted to explain why these super-popular dishes have gone missing in recent months.
Earlier this spring, our seafood supplier informed us that the area from which we […]

Happy Blogoversary!

A year ago right now I was just finishing up my last AC chemo treatment for my […]

Proud To Be a Part of Pink Dish!

As we at Let’s Dish! began the planning for the 2008 Pink Dish! Campaign, I found it hard to believe that it had already been a year since our first initiative. Then again, a year can mean so much in the fight against breast cancer - and the same is true for Pink Dish!.

If You Love a Meal… Dish More of It!

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.
