I tried Top Chef Meals for the first time. I had the Rib with roasted potatoes, and Brussel sprouts. They only had one rib. I had the regular portion. The rib was tender. It was good. I also tried the Chicken from the chicken with broccoli.that was good.

I am on a special diet for my kidneys and these meals definitely meet all my requirements. today I had a brisket meal for lunch and a meatloaf meal for dinner they were both very good. I'm so surprised with such little amount of salt there was a lot of flavor. I can't wait to try the other ones I've ordered.

Top Chef Meals are excellent. Every meal is totally customizable - you can choose the 2 sides from any grain or veggie, you can add extra protein and even add toppings like onions or mushrooms to your protein. The portions are fair. If you are a big eater I recommend adding the extra protein and toppings. They are not overly spiced so you may need to add salt/pepper or any other seasoning but that is better in my book.

I live in Westchester and used to go and pick up my meals but now I have them delivered directly to my office. I have ordered multiple times now and they are a better value than many of the meal deliveries out there and they are freshly prepared for you. I highly recommend them.

A+ on packaging and I like the fact that you can put the containers in the oven.but I'm sorry the meals in my opinion are really bland! Kind of reminded me of hospital food. I won't be ordering from them again.
