How It Works
The Busy Chef has been about helping you, the busy person, get dinner on your table as easily as possible without skimping on what is served. We offer complete meals that you finish at home. We start from scratch by doing all the planning, shopping, chopping and portioning of each meal and all you need to do is follow the simple instructions to finish it. We'll make you look like a great chef in your own kitchen. All of our menu items are designed and packaged to freeze so don't hesitate to stock up your freezer for those really crazy days.
Each Monday our weekly menu is posted and an email is sent (are you on our mailing list?). Look it over and place your order. Tuesday and Wednesday we shop and prep the ingredients, package it and start deliveries for the rest of the week. Delivering to a broad area just makes it that much easier for you.
Our small meals are enough for 2-3 people and sometimes 4. Everyones eating habits are different and in over 5 years less than a handful found it just enough for 2.
Most entrees take no more than 20 minutes of your physical time to complete, some oven times may vary up to an hour.
We accept Visa, Mastercard & Discover over the phone. Otherwise, pay by cash or check upon delivery.
