  • We did it for Grey Cup AND the Super Bowl, and we may just do it again! Chicken wings, bison meatballs, sliders, potato skins, and other finger foods packed these party platters. Variety was outstanding and the quality had friends and fam arm wrestling for the last bites.

    • A woman ordered some for her shift-working husband to eat as she was away.

    • One mom bought a week of breakfasts and dinners as her son had moved into the city to work and had no time that week to get groceries while working his 10-hour days and unpacking.

    Those are just a few of the people we helped out with our made-ahead meals.

    Or Meals-To-Go save some valuable time and energy for you hard-working folks.

  • At Christmas, we provided take-home turkey dinners, with bird, stuffing, potatoes, veg and a delectible dessert. It made for a much more relaxed Christmas Day for many. There was an option for a 2-person meal (so a couple could still enjoy a home-cooked dinner without all the work), and 6-12 person meals that could take care of that extra large crowd.

    Follow our social media pages for information when these become available again.

  • This popular February week gets a lot of chefs in the community excited, and our culinary team is no different. Be prepared to order some delicious poutine with creative flair, and when the February chills come around, some hot poutine can have you feeling “très satisfait”.
