Good meals, good portions

Even with customization, my orders have always been 100% accurate. I have been using Top Chef for nearly 3 years, and the meals are consistently good and well-portioned. There are a few meals I would not order again but that's more a matter of personal taste rather than any lack of quality.

I love your products

I love your products, but my latest shipment arrived in rough shape. The box was so damaged it looked like it had been dragged. Could you please ensure more careful handling or use sturdier boxes? This was delivered via FedEx.

FedEx fails again

FedEx fails again. I live on the 3rd floor of a condo. I am 72 and a cancer patient. It is not easy for me to carry the box up the. stairs.. I have filled out the section of the order form to have the box delivered upstairs. The delivery instructions are posted on the box. Many times FedEx has left the box on the first floor , a few times blocking the steps. One time, I had to drive around town, found the driver to have him come back and bring it up the steps. It has been a week since Top Chefs posted a ticket acknowledging the issue but no update.
I do not know if FedEx has been notified, if the driver has been spoken to to, etc.i receive packages from all the delivery services and they all bring the packages to my door.

I have purchased Top Chef many times

I have purchased Top Chef meals many, many times.
Because of the great taste I will keep reordering.
The only thing the menu lacks is the very small selection of vegetarian meals.
I do wish they woud alowl me to create vegetables meal platteres from their existing list of veggies.

I like the choices

I like the choices, specifically Extra Protein and eliminating carbs to swap for more vegetables. I do not like that Renal meals have been discontinued but I'm not sure the market was large enough to sustain. I also like that there are standard meals and seasonal for variety.

This is my 5th order

This is my 5th order. I have some observations: overall meals are tasty & filling. The size of the meat servings are erratic, from bountiful to skimpy. Chicken is invariably very dry no matter how gently heated, (chicken lo mein is an exception). Stewed pork & beef likewise.
Courier has failed to follow delivery instructions, as a result I am collecting insulated totes.

If in CA maybe plan to order during cool weather

The meals are great as they always have been. The problem is the delivery; I am in CA and UPS said food would arrive between 10:30 and 1:30 so I made sure I was home. Around 2p (still no food) the UPS tracking changed and said it would arrive by 9pm. It got here about 4:45 and there was no dry ice left and one meal was partially thawed. It doesn't deter from ordering again, but I would wait until cooler weather.

Mixed Experience

The flavor of the different meals varied. Some were ok, others not as good. Also, delivery took a while, as the meals were being delivered across the country. Ordering in the future would require me to plan much further in advance than I usually do.

Easy to order

The delivery was good but the food portions small and I didn’t find them to be what I expected.

RECEIVED REPACKAGED BROWN UNMARKED BOX -- I am in South Florida near Boca Raton…-

I am in South Florida near Boca Raton (east coast) -- this is the second time now that my meals have arrived "repackaged it looks like" by FEDEX in a large "UNMARKED BROWN BOX" -- not in the white and black box that I have been receiving for many years. The wt/black box was "not" inside but only the plastic bag (OPEN) and the grey insulation wrapped LOOSELY around the smaller inner box for 21 meals. This time the meals seemed edible but I would really appreciate an EXPLANATION and if this is expected to continue.
