"Your daily meals are a sanity saver! I love that I don’t have to menu plan or get groceries for lunch every day. Portions are a decent size too so hubby and I usually split it. Gotta love FREE delivery!
We get a whole weeks worth of lunch meals for the price of what we would spend on one date night out. Price is on point!
Also, love that the meals are freshly made each morning. Restaurant quality, great taste!"

"The first time I had Joseph Zazzarino's food was Mother’s Day. I’m a single mom who truly just wanted a day off from cooking. “He had me at salmon” and now I order from him weekly. He’s friendly and professional with delicious food that he personally delivers to me at my job. He walks through those doors and I immediately want to hide under my desk and eat the meal, haha. Thank you for saving the day one meal at a time!"
Kim Brancato
"Every meal I've ever ordered was delicious and delivered right to my door. Very convenient and saves so much time during a busy work week. It's something I do every once in a while to treat my family and myself from having to worry about what's for dinner."
Erin Moran Dunn
"I still remember the first order when I saw your menu on the Middletown page! The zucchini boats with shrimp were outstanding! I can’t even list all that we have had, or all the times you delivered trays of food to friends! Always on point, always delicious, and a loyal customer for over a year! Relieving my stress working and caring for deaf and disabled Mom, along with her happy smiles when she sees your containers makes it all a win and super win!!!"

"I first ordered dinners from Joe because I was home recovering from surgery and could not be on my feet. Decided to order dinners for a few nights. Week 1 became week 2 and we are now loyal customers. Delicious meals, delivered DAILY!. Sorry GrubHub and Doordash. LOL"

"Every time with Chef Joe has been an incredible experience! Chef Joe is very detail oriented and has the right experience to create a very high end dinner party, cater for an employee luncheon of 40, or even to cook for a 75 person backyard bbq. All at a reasonable price. His background and experience make him the perfect person to create your vision. Super flexible and accommodating with regards to menu planning and helping to achieve my vision! I continue to hire him again and again, hands down! It was far better than going to any restaurant! Thank you Chef Joe!"
