This is my 5th order. I have some observations: overall meals are tasty & filling. The size of the meat servings are erratic, from bountiful to skimpy. Chicken is invariably very dry no matter how... See more

We order weekly

We order weekly. Two meals from last week were tough to chew. That's the first negative experience we've had.

Good process, food doesn't live up to its potential

The process of ordering and receiving meals is excellent. The two meals I've eaten so far have been rather mediocre. Pork tenderloin with apples had the pork swimming in water. Heating was complicated as I had to remove the veggies to heat separately. The sweet potato was very good though. The second meal, pasta with sausage and peppers tasted good, but the sauce was almost nonexistent, so it felt dry and gummy. Sausage was a few crumbles, and the heating instructions did not get the food hot in the recommended time.

Mixed Thoughts on this Supplier

Meals are tasty, nutritious and filling. However they used to let us select the starches and vegetables (for a slight upcharge) but have since discontinued this "for safety reasons". It's take-it-or-leave-it now. And the meals have become a bit pricey.

I selected items to buy

I selected items to buy, but did not initially make the purchase. I received an email stating that the items I selected were saved in my cart, but that was untrue. This happened twice, and each time I reported the errors but received an automated reply from a mailbox that doesn't get read.
When I finally did place the order, I received confirmation of the order, but never received the promised ship date. Things are getting sloppy.

Reasonably good food but packaging problems.

Reasonably good food, but there are some packaging problems. Often the plastic tray that holds the food arrives broken with small shards of plastic in the food. If you're not careful, you can end up eating some of these shards of plastic and they can be sharp. I've found this happens in at least one dinner in each of my orders. Why are you using plastic anyway?

Changed, and not for the better

I can't customize the meals like I used to, and you eliminated the Gluten-Free Special Diet Menu. Why? Your packaging still says "Customize."

At least you still have a Low Sodium menu. However, it doesn't show all the meals I find by going to the Main Menu and checking off Low Sodium and Gluten-Free there. What's with the inconsistency?

This is not the same Top Chef Meals I discovered a while ago.
