Dinner By Design Kitchens Help Bring New Smart Sides to Consumers Tables
Posted on: 19/12/2006
CHICAGO, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Dinner by Design, a leader in the make, take and bake home meal assembly business, today announced the official introduction of Smart Sides.
Smart Sides are tasty, ready-to-go side dishes that complement family and holiday entrees, including Dinner by Design's regular monthly menu items and premade Take and Bake selections.
The official debut of Smart Sides follows months of testing and positive customer feedback.
"We are offering Smart Sides based on input from customers who regularly look to Dinner by Design for a convenient, time-saving and healthy solution for their families," said company president and founder Julie Duffy.
Examples of new Smart Side items include Lemon Asparagus Rice, Corn with Cilantro Lime Butter, Roasted Garlic Green Beans, Stir Fry Vegetables and Dilled Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots. In addition, Dinner by Design kitchens will offer side dishes with a holiday flare like the company's much requested Pecan Sweet Potato Bake, Corn Casserole and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes.
Based on popular demand from last holiday season, many Dinner by Design kitchens are also offering "Holiday Premades" - appetizers and entrees that help reduce time, stress and mess. Favorite holiday items that will be offered this year include: Pumpkin Bisque, Shrimp with Roasted Pineapple Salsa, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Chipotle Party Wings, Roasted Cornish Hens, Deep Dish Apple Cranberry Pie and Bread Pudding to name a few. Specific items will vary by location.
Dinner by Design provides a proven, practical and fun experience that saves people time, money, stress and mess. Thousands of busy people enjoy this convenience in three ways: 1) by making 12 entrees for the month in two hours or less at a Dinner by Design kitchen; 2) by preparing entrees with friends or family at a private party; and 3) ordering and pick up ready-made entrees.
Industry observers indicate this concept is becoming increasingly popular, similar to the stage coffee chains were at 15 years ago. The Business Times Daily called Dinner by Design "one of the hottest new retail franchise sensations sweeping the nation." With nearly 50 opened locations, Dinner by Design has agreements for more than 80 kitchens to date.
