The Dinner A'Fare-Largo/Upper Marlboro Invites The Community to Our June Open House

June 3, 2010 - PRLog -- For busy families and individuals looking for a convenient and affordable way to make delicious, healthy, home-cooked meals, a new fresh food-based meal preparation concept that just opened in Largo Shopping Plaza holds a simple answer.   The Dinner A’Fare – Largo/Upper Marlboro is a ready-to-cook meal preparation concept where customers make a week’s or month’s worth of tasty meals in less than two hours.  To help introduce this concept to the residents of Prince George’s County, The Dinner A-Fare – Largo/Upper Marlboro will hold an “Open House and FREE Food Tasting” of some of their most popular dishes from 5 – 8 p.m. on Monday, June 7th.  The Dinner A’Fare is located at 10416 Campus Way South in Largo, Maryland.  

The Dinner A’Fare is designed to take the guesswork out of meal preparation and simplify the lives of its customers, says franchise owner, Jarnee Riley, of Capital Heights, MD.  “Through this unique concept, we take care of everything required for preparing healthy, delicious home-cooked meals for a family from selecting recipes, shopping for groceries, preparing ingredients and even cleaning dishes,” says Riley.   “We are excited to introduce this innovative concept to Prince George’s County.”

To prepare for The Dinner A’Fare meal assembly session, customers simply call the store or log onto the company’s website (www.dinnerafare.com) to reserve a “self-serve session time” and choose up to 12 meals from a monthly menu of tempting recipes, such as: Chicken Piccata, Parmesan Tilapia, Stuffed Manicotti, Orange Curry Chicken, Artichoke Salmon, Pepper Crusted Flank Steak and many others.  

Upon arrival at The Dinner A’Fare’s gourmet studio kitchen, customers begin at designated stations where they will find all the ingredients needed to prepare their meals complete with recipes.  Ingredients for each dish - chopped, minced or diced – are set-up and ready for customers to measure and customize to their liking by adding more or less of any ingredient.  In just two hours for less than $4/per serving, customers can make up to 12 homemade ready-to-cook meals that serve 2-3 or 4-6 people. Customers then take each family - or couple - sized meal home, place them in their freezer and cook the dishes at their convenience based on the simple cooking instructions provided by The Dinner A’Fare staff.

Each month The Dinner A’Fare offers a new menu of 15 unique recipes that include beef, chicken, pork, fish, seafood and vegetarian dishes. The featured dishes are developed with nutrition, high-quality food, and variety in mind.  

The Dinner A’Fare, Inc. is the creative brainchild of Ken and Stephanie Wright. Residents of Atlanta, GA, the entrepreneurial couple and self-professed food connoisseurs were looking for a way to simplify their lives and share their love of cooking.  

“The Dinner A’Fare is a great way to inspire families to get back to the old-fashioned concept of home-cooked meals and family dinners,” says The Dinner A’Fare co-founder and CEO, Ken Wright.  “Our customers range from dual-income families, stay-at-home moms, single parents, empty nesters, singles, newlyweds and retirees all looking to simplify their lives.  It’s great for anyone who wants to reduce stress while providing nutritionally-balanced, home-cooked meals for themselves, their friends and family.”

To register for The Dinner A’Fare meal assembly session, visit www.dinnerafare.com or call 301-350-1691.  Prices of meal packages are determined by the number of dishes and the number of servings per dish.  For even more convenience, as an added service, The Dinner A’Fare offers a Stand-in-Chef option, allowing customers to pick up their meal packages already assembled for a small additional fee.  The Dinner A’Fare Gift Cards are available upon request.
