A dream dinner may bring to mind a free steak for some people. Dream Dinners is also a clever food franchise that’s growing fast. It’s all about people cooking under supervision according to planned menus. Yes, you’re probably saying “why didn’t I come up with that one”?
Americans are busier than ever before. Eating well at home is besoming more and more difficult . Even the terrific pre-made food available today in stores isn’t quite the same as home cooking. But doesn’t something have to give when time is on a budget? This franchise comes to the rescue.
The program works like this. Customers select up to 14 menu meals every month. Food is then purchased by serving. Then they cook it while still at the shop. This can be accomplished either in public or private sessions, with creative cooking pros directing the preparation action. This is a lot like a chef at a restaurant coming out to direct the diners in preparing the food.
It’s not as costly as it sounds. The more people buy the more they save, so all 14 meals are about $3.50 per serving not counting sides and other items like salads. This can bring the cost per serving for a complete meal up to around the $5 mark, but for a busy working family it’s not bad. Not only are the meals provided, but the family can enjoy the cooking experience in a setting where it’s ensured that they’ll prepare the meals the right way.
This is a franchise business. And there’s been some controversy behind the franchise. It’s not the food or menus or preparation, but rather the franchiseesSome of the franchisees aren’t happy. Dream Dinners was profiled in March of ’08 by Forbes. The company didn’t look very good in the article. It expanded very quickly, attracting entrepreneurs with its unique concept. But many of the franchisees lost their shirts after only a short time, which meant the business plan may be flawed. There may have been some misrepresentations made as to potential profits.
That’s something for the company to handle. For patrons, it’s fun to handle the cooking chores while working off of a wonderful menu.

What do you have to say?
I hope you have a wonderful Dream Dinners experience. It is the ultimate buy in bulk and save way to have a home cooked dinner and does cost less than buying the same ingredients at a grocery store. It is also very eco friendly, so much less packaging when you buy in bulk. We actually have children on our tasting panels; it is amazing to see what kids will really eat. We put kids in a box when we only feed them “white foods”. Don’t miss our new Dream Rewards program. You can get more dinner ideas on my blog Take care. http://stephanieallen.wordpress.com/
there are really lots of ways that you can do to avoid constipation such as drinking lots of juice*”.
