Our Story
Big Easy is a high quality meal take out offering. The dishes are all created and cooked by a senior executive chef with years of experience making truly fabulous meals for high end restaurants. With Big Easy we hope to show you how simple it is to very quickly create absolutely incredible dinners at home, on the table in about 10 minutes. With no prep, very little mess and no waste. No wasted ingredients that you do not use, no wasted product from prep activity and very little post consumption clean up. These menu items can be selected individually so you can customize the lunch or dinner you will be presenting. Pick a protein, pick a starch and pick some vegetables. If you have some veg in the fridge that needs to be used up you can just choose the items you would like to accompany the ingredients you already have on hand.
I feel ordering take out can be very hit or miss as the quality of the delivered product can be under whelming. Many restaurants will simply not provide take out because the product will not be as good as it is in the restaurant. With Big Easy the products arrive at your home, or you can pick up and get a discount, cold and packaged in a vacuum sealed bag. If it is delivered on a Wednesday but you are not going to prepare and serve until Friday that is great. Just put it in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat. The dining schedule is yours not a delivery drivers. If you happen to be near the restaurant, come on in and pick up the items you would like, accept a pick up discount, pay and be on your way. Once home put the items in the fridge and re-heat and eat on your schedule.
The re-heat process is very simple. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and place the vacuum sealed bags in the water. Our web site has a re-heat chart with the timing for every item. The proteins are between 5 and 7 minutes, the vegetables are 3 minutes and the starches are 5 minutes. Once the individual items have been re-heated, use tongs and take them out of the water, cut open the bags and plate the items to your liking. We have pics of the before (in sealed bags) and after (on plates ready to eat), it takes no cooking skills other than bringing water to a boil and then timing the items in the hot water. The plating can be similar to ours or you can get creative and serve in your own artistic way. It tastes absolutely great either way.
This take out solution is perfect for camping or boating. After a great day exploring our forests or beaches to get back to camp and not have to start prepping dinner/lunch is a luxury. Just bring a big pot of water to a boil and re-heat these amazing items. Dinner can be served in minutes and it may be the best outdoor cooking meal you have ever tasted. If you are lucky enough to be boating around our amazing coastal waters gourmet dinners can easily be a big part of the experience. This re-heat and eat meal solution is nutritious, tasty and healthy. No preservatives, no processed food, just great ingredients prepared to perfection ready for you to enjoy.
