It seems like just yesterday that we were one day from opening and I was standing at the door of Dominion Virginia Power’s main office begging them to turn power on to the shopping center. It was August 2005, and we were the first tenant to open in the Cameron Chase Shopping Center in […]
We’re all so busy these days with our careers, children and countless items on our to do lists. Sure, Let’s Dish! helps by providing a healthy, quick dinner even on those crazy nights, but, let’s face it, it truly takes a village to navigate through daily life…complete with neighbors who care. It amazes […]

If you or someone you love is gluten-intolerant, we know how challenging it can be to enjoy healthy, convenient, delicious, restaurant-quality meals.
At Let’s Dish!, we accommodate all kinds of dietary restrictions — and are especially proud to serve the growing population of dishers who seek gluten-free alternatives.
Many of our meals are already gluten-free, or can […]

Last spring, my friends and I spent hundreds of dollars at restaurants and take-out on vacation. We didn’t realize we could save over $30 a day by bringing great-tasting, family-friendly meals from Let’s Dish!  Here’s the story:
Spending a long weekend away was exactly what we needed, but we didn’t want to go broke doing so! Excitedly, the four of […]

Way back in ‘07 when we talked about the idea of launching a blog for our Let’s Dish! stores, it seemed like an intimidating task. Heck, most of us didn’t even know what a “blog” really was … or did… or something. But as we investigated our options, we learned that a blog would not […]
December 25th. Whatever you are celebrating this day or this season, we hope you are enjoying some downtime with friends and family.
Our stores are closed today (although, pssst, you can still buy gift cards online in case you forgot someone!) so the 250+ employees of Let’s Dish! can spend the day with their loved ones. […]
‘Tis the perfect season to be thinking about Let’s Dish! Gift Cards. Here are my six favorite reasons why:
Let’s Dish! meals are wholesome, delicious and practical. So a gift from Let’s Dish! says you really care about them.
Your friends and family-members have enough tie racks and ceramic ducks already! Give them something they’ll actually use.
Gift […]
Last week, I was invited to an elementary school in South Riding, VA. The principal called an “emergency” faculty meeting after school. But this wasn’t an emergency in the traditional sense; she just wanted to be sure everyone was there… and on time… so that I could deliver some exciting news.
You see, at this school there’s a very […]
October is over but the Pink Dish! giving has just begun! Thanks to the support and participation of all of you - dishers, friends, family, the Let’s Dish! team and the community - the Pink Dish! Campaign achieved its goal once again.
We are proud to announce that this year’s contributions enabled us to fund all […]
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 […]
As I read the stories that have been submitted to the Pink Dish! Campaign, and I look around at the vast amount of publicity breast cancer is receiving this October, I am reminded of where I was last year.
A year ago right now I was just finishing up my last AC chemo treatment for my […]

We’ve gotten more than a few comments about our portion sizes over the years. Some people say they’re too big, others say they’re too small (few if any have written to call them “just right”, but we suspect that silent majority is out there!).
Truth is, in most case our ”dishes” provide 6 standard portion sizes as […]
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!.
Lisa […]
We often get questions about wearing gloves when dishing. Our number one priority (yes, even above providing delicious convenient meals for your family!) is keeping everyone safe. That’s the driver of our glove policy, which (usually) suggests you not wear gloves when dishing. Sound ironic? Read on…
When handling raw meat directly, we ask (read: require)Â that […]
We were delighted to see that What’s to Eat, Baltimore, a super-popular blog on topics close to our heart, features a review of Let’s Dish! in today’s post.
W.T.E.B. demonstrates superb taste with their astute review of our Garlic Herb Salmon:
“It was heavenly, the flavored butter just marinated itself all over the salmon, and came out […]
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:
Freezer Freedom: Our newsletter […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
