The ordering flow is simple: select your items online, choose a pickup window, and we’ll have your feast packed and ready.

Hosting Tips: Reheating and Serving Made Easy
- Scan your confirmation email for reheating directions and timing.
- Clear a shelf in your fridge so dishes chill evenly before reheating.
- Reheat sides first, then the turkey or lobster pot pie so everything lands hot together.
- Keep extra stock or gravy on hand to refresh slices and stuffing.
