Super Suppers Austin Southwest

I rarely cook anything, but the idea of Super Suppers intrigued me, so a friend and I checked it out this evening. The concept is this: they prep all the ingredients, you assemble your food, they clean everything up, and you take home food that can be frozen or refrigerated and cooked later. That way you have a «homemade» meal for your family without nearly as much time and effort. You could also meet up with friends and make food preparation more of a social event, too. The price comes out to about $ 4/​serving, so it’s definitely a better value than restaurant food, but more than if you bought all the ingredients yourself.
I made basil pork chops and chicken wraps; my friend made chicken wraps and flank steak. The ingredients all looked good, and the recipe was easy to follow, but I haven’t eaten the food yet so I can’t vouch for the tastiness of the entrees just yet.
If you’re interested, I recommend trying the Super Suppers 101 (see the calendar online). I didn’t do it, but it sounded nice because they walk you through the process and you get a free entrée! If that doesn’t fit your schedule, you can call and make an appointment or show up at the «walk in» times. If you make an appointment, they have all your ingredients ready when you arrive, so you can get your food assembled very quickly. That’s what we did, and we had the whole place to ourselves!
The facilities were extremely clean, and the environment was pleasant and relaxing. The employees didn’t rush us at all, and they offered us beverages while we worked. Checkout was inordinately slow, possibly because we used gift cards. That was the only part of the process that wasn’t seamless.
