There's this new business in one of the nearby neighborhoods

[ScarySquirrel]

It's called Your Second Kitchen and I thought it was kind of a neat little idea. I was kind of wondering if anyone has seen anything like this in their areas or if these people are starting with something that's a completely original idea.

Anyway, the concept is this: you pay these folks their money and they, in turn, give you a two hour session where you make twelve meals. Twelve meals to last an entire family, or get together, or whatever you might need them for. They provide all the ingredients, all the tools you need to do the work, they clean it up when you're done, and they even have trained chefs and other "professionals" in there to help you out. Each month their "menu" changes and it has about twenty different entrees on it that you can choose from.

The prices range from $100 (for only six meals and a one hour session) up to $195 (for the twelve meals and a two hour session).

Yeah, I don't really know why I posted all that... mainly just because I thought it was something that was kind of cool/weird. What do y'all think about a place like that? Is it something you can realistically see making a lot of money down the road and possibly sweeping the nation as the latest trend or you think it's something I should scope out quick since they won't be in business that long? Yeah...

seems like a lazy assed alternative to grocery shopping and learning to cook.

A good fried of mine is a "Personel Chef", and baisically does the same thing. She is a nutritionest, and will come in and do all the work, shopping, cooking and cleaning. Her clientele includes people who either can't cook, or don't have time to, want to loose weight, or are too old to do the shopping and cleaning envolved with it. She makes some good money, and has been doing this for a few years. Here in Florida there are lots of old people with too much money, and they would rather pay someone to do all this. For example my Grand Father is 87, he is mostly blind so he can't drive, with no public transportation, he can't shop either and if he had to do all his cooking, he would just make a sandwich for dinner, and never get a proper meal.

Do those meals go to homeless people or something?

Is this like Cooking for Humanity (ala Habitat for Humanity)?

Because I've seen some of those Habitat Houses and given the shoddy construction, I wouldn't want to eat the food that those people cook.
