Chef Fresh Meals

The Chef Fresh Story

Our great food starts with our buyers scouring the markets using Marsh’s buying power to find absolutely the best meats, produce and other ingredients. Five days a week, our skilled staff begins before sunrise and prepares the food carefully under the watchful eyes of our trained chefs, Quality Assurance manager and the USDA inspector.

We quick chill each item as soon as it is ready, to seal in the flavor and freshness at it’s peak. The food is then packaged in a temperature controlled environment, carefully loaded onto our own trucks, and delivered to our stores so that it can be available for sale at it’s flavor peak.

In terms of convenience, our food is available chilled, ready to take home and heat up, or hot, ready to eat from the Marsh deli hot foods area. Our hot foods are a sensible alternative to fast food or pizza, and purchased cold we are a better choice than frozen food or mixes you prepare at home.

We do not use any added preservatives to maintain freshness, preferring to produce frequently to maintain freshness. Our menu isn’t loaded with fried foods, and our traditional recipes and production techniques produce a wholesome experience much more akin to eating home cooked meals than most other forms of prepared foods.

While you may have heard a lot of buzz about “Home Meal Replacement,” we don’t want to replace your meal at home, we just want to help prepare it for you. Think of us more as a “Home Meal Solution”!

Are you too tired to cook? Do you need a quick covered dish for unexpected guests, a pitch-in dinner, or a sick friend? Missing the comfort of Mom’s home cooking?

Then you’re ready for the great selection of Chef Fresh Ready-to-Eat Meals. Prepared by our Chefs in the Marsh Kitchens, Chef Fresh Meals are made fresh daily and contain no preservatives to ensure a real “homemade” taste. We follow time-honored recipes, use the highest quality and freshest ingredients, and add a few of our special secrets to make sure Chef Fresh meals are fresh, tasty and nutritious.
