Dinner Is Served By "Lisa" Personal Chef & Catering Services

🍲 This week, Dinner Is Served is going small and intentional.

No café this week — we're taking a beat, doing some behind-the-scenes work, and delivering a limited run of Big Bad Meals directly to the co-op.

Sometimes the best thing a chef can do is slow down, cook with purpose, and show up where it matters most.

We'll be back in full swing soon. Stay tuned. 🙏

🌍 Years ago, we made this once. One day. Most people never even knew it existed.

Then my daughter Brittany said , "Mom, bring it back."

Saturday at West Bayfront Porchfest, the African Chicken Stew made its return.

It was gone in one hour.

And the requests have not stopped since.

So here's what's happening: this week the African Chicken Stew is joining the Big Bad Meal lineup and I need you to hear me when I say get your order in early.

West Africa meets East Africa in one bowl. Peanut butter. Coconut milk. Sweet potato. Collard greens. Black eyed peas. Chicken so tender it has absolutely no business being that good.

Where else are you finding this in Erie? I'll give you a moment. 😏

$6 cup | $8 bowl | $16 quart

Quantities are limited — and Saturday proved that is not a figure of speech.

Don't sleep on this one. 🍲✨

"This one's coming back for you next week 👀🍽️"

Hey Dinner Is Served family! 💛
Due to some unexpected maintenance at the kitchen, we'll be closed this week — both the Café and Big Bad Meals. We're taking care of business behind the scenes so we can come back even better for you. The GREAT news? This week's menu was so good, we're bringing it back — same beautiful lineup, same Chef Lisa magic. Café reopens Tuesday August 25th at 8:30am, and Big Bad Meals are back Tuesday August 25th, available for pick-up Tuesday through Thursday, 11am to 4pm. Pre-orders are highly recommended — we make everything fresh daily and we sell out. Every. Single. Day. 💛 Stay tuned and stay hungry. 🍽️ — Chef Lisa"
