Today I visited Entree Vous, another "Make & Take" kitchen in Chesapeake. They are located at 940 Cedar Rd., midway between Battlefield Blvd & Dominion Blvd.
I met with Renee Davis, the manager. She is super cool! The set up is pretty much the same as Sociale Gourmet minus the gourmet / gift store portion. There are multiple work stations with simple easy to understand instructions. Meals are available in 2-3 or 4-6 serving sizes and vary in prices. Some meals are not available in 2-3 services because of their nature (i.e. pot roast, flank steak, etc.). Also there are single serving packages available too! The single serving sampler includes either 6 Entrees or 3 Entrees & 3 Sides. The cost is $29.99. The entrees can either be prepared by the customer or pre-made by her, whichever is preferred.
The Hostess program is amazing!!! If we have 6 or more people, and each person orders 6 entrees then the Hostess gets their first 3 entrees FREE!! If we have 6 or more people, and not everyone orders 6 entrees then the Hostess gets their first 2 entrees FREE!!! Pretty dang cool, if you ask me!!! So we will definitely need to start rotating the hostess.
They have run into a franchise abandonment recently, she said that it is kind of a blessing to them though. Now in addition to the 14 meals online they have a secondary menu to choose from with a bunch of more choices. She said that she will email me the additional menu options each month, I’ll post it on the website then each guest can choose their meals and call her with their orders. Guest can either pay over the phone or pay in person the night of the party.
All of their ingredients are fresh not canned or frozen. Renee comes to the store in the morning and prepares everything for the day fresh. They also offer a menu with ZERO transfat.
They have side dishes and desserts available for pick up as well.
The dish I made today was Chicken Wellington. We plan on having it for dinner tomorrow night. I will post to let you all know how we like it. But I think we may want to go ahead and schedule our January party so that everyone can be the judge.
They will close the store for our private party so we’ll have the place to ourselves. We can bring beer, wine or other beverages of our choice to enjoy. They provide appetizers. And they also have a large LCD screen on the wall with speakers around it for playing music and entertainment during our party.
