Chef Dane's Offers Now We're Cooking Meals

One of my favorite competitors when I was in the meal assembly business was Chef Dane's Kitchen in Santa Clara.  Chef Dane Mechlin came into Now We're Cooking soon after we opened, on a reconnaissance mission to see what was going on in the industry.  We quickly became friendly and we regularly checked in with each other to see how things were going.  I also checked out a number of other assembly kitchen in the area, and I thought Dane's food was by far the best.

When Now We're Cooking went out of business, Dane began delivering meals to pickup locations in the Tri-Valley area.  Although he doesn't do home delivery in this area, he does deliver freshly-made meals to Crow Canyon Wines in San Ramon and Gene's Fine Foods in Pleasanton.  

He's now expanded his menu to include a number of favorites from Now We're Cooking.  I've given him recipes of a bunch of your favorites (in exchange for a VERY generous donation to my kids' school auction).  He's incorporating them into his menu, a few at a time.

In March, he's offering three of your all-time favorites:  Marinated Skirt Steak with Bleu Cheese or Shallot Butter (he's adding sesame noodles, too!); Southern Pulled Pork Sandwiches, which he's improved with a side of Linguica Baked Beans; and Hoisin-Glazed Meatloaf.  In addition to these dishes, he has other delicious offerings, including Thai-Coconut Bouillabaisse and Chicken Puff Pastry Pot Pies.

Place your order at Chef Dane's Kitchen in Santa Clara.  Let him know about your Now We're Cooking favorites, and I'll make sure he gets those recipes, too!  Thanks so much to Dane for keeping some of our favorites available.
