How is The Dining Alternative unlike a “personal chef”?
A personal chef has several clients for whom food is cooked in advance. Meals are vacuum packed, zip-locked, or put into containers, which are then frozen or refrigerated to be reheated later, each with their own labeled instructions. This severely diminishes the quality of food, and requires the clients to heat, plate, and serve the food themselves. Dishes prepared by The Dining Alternative are cooked, plated, and immediately served to you and your guests, just like in a restaurant. The Dining Alternative is not “home meal replacement” (HMR), but rather special occasion dining within the comfort of your own home.
