We created Artichoke Dinner Club out of a need for a convenient, high quality alternative to meal subscriptions and restaurant takeout. As my wife, Lindsay, and I juggled our busy work schedules, we found that cooking dinner from scratch every night was almost impossible. We tried frozen dinners, meal kits, meal prepping on Sundays for the week and ordering takeout. At the end of the day, all these options left us either still left us exhausted from the amount of work or questioning the quality/convenience/cost tradeoffs. As a result, we decided the best solution was something different. We wanted to focus on being local, not having food shipped across the country; offering restaurant quality food and encouraging people to eat together by serving all dishes family style. Great food should not be compromised for convenience. We want to help you have more time to do what is important to you whether that is having extra time to relax and read or do yoga; grab a drink with a friend or play outside with your family.Artichoke is a prepared dinner company that provides chef-made, family style dinners for busy people. Artichoke is about wholesome, restaurant quality dinners you feel good about sharing with your family, roommates, guests, or anyone else with whom you share a dinner table.
