My partner and I split our order every week since neither of us cooks on weeknights anymore, its become our unofficial Wednesday tradition to see whats in the box

I have experienced various meal prep/plan services within the past several years. It's very rare whenever you find one where you love each and every meal and look forward to eating them. I've been guilty in the past of getting something else To eat other than what I ordered for the week because it just wasn't very tasty. Each and every meal that I ordered from chef q was cooked perfectly and delicious! The portion sizes for the most part were very generous. There were a couple of chicken entrees that weren't as plentiful as the rest, but it still hit the spot. I really enjoyed the Rosemary beef stew however I would recommend that they place it in a plastic cylinder container with a lid versus the carryout box that they used because a lot of the gravy did end up at the bottom of my bag when it was delivered. I look forward to ordering from them again!
