Chef Dane's Meal Preparation Opens In Needham

Store offers new way for families to bring dinner back to the table

NEEDHAM, MA (Monday, December 04, 2006) - You just got home from work, your son has baseball practice, your daughter has a piano recital and everyone is hungry. Is it another night of ordering take-out? Wouldn't it be nice to know that dinner has been taken care of in advance and your family can sit down to enjoy a healthy, quality meal?

Chef Dane's is proud to announce that it is bringing dinner back to the table with the opening of its Needham store at 1299 Highland Avenue.

The concept is simple:

* Chef Dane's develops a monthly menu based on decades of Chef Dane Mechlin's experience as an award-winning personal chef and resort owner.
* Chef Dane's does all the food shopping and preparation in its own onsite kitchen, including sautéing and blanching fresh vegetables and creating sauces from real ingredients - not powdered or canned substitutes.



* Chef Dane's welcomes customers for sessions during which they can relax, enjoy some good music and rotate from station to station assembling their meals - everything from Cedar Plank Baked Dijon Maple Dill Salmon to Individual Beef Wellingtons - in the provided baking pans or freezer bags.
* And last but certainly not least, customers can leave the clutter behind and bring dinner home: the store's kitchen is their kitchen, but the mess is all Chef Dane's to clean.

"We are thrilled to bring Chef Dane's high quality meal prep services to the Boston area with the opening of our Needham store," said
James Fici, Manager at Chef Dane's Needham. "Families are trying to get more quality time around quality dinners, and we know how important that part of life is. By doing most of the work ourselves, we give parents the opportunity to put together fresh, healthy meals and have fun doing it."

Chef Dane's elevates the meal preparation trend that is sweeping the nation by not only using the freshest ingredients (including Bell and Evans chicken and other organic options) for a diverse menu, but by raising the standards with its onsite kitchen as well. All this and savings too - of time, money and family frustration!

* Each entrée serves 4-6 adults, breaking down to an average cost of $4-$7 per serving.
* Chef Dane's saves customers 20-24 hours a month, taking into account meal planning, grocery shopping, preparation and cleanup time.
* It's easy to customize meals to your family's likes and dislikes. Customers are encouraged to make their meals the way their families like to eat them.

Chef Dane's welcomes fundraising organizations, new moms' groups, book clubs, corporate team building events, and any other group that would like to book a session. Group coordinators receive a free entrée for every person that signs up when they host a 'Meet the Chef' session. Gift certificates are also available for any occasion. Customers can visit www.chefdanesneedham.com to sign up for a session.
