With fewer people eating out and cooking at home more than they ever have — or wanted to — The Fresh Market has become known for its restaurant-quality meals that take the guesswork out of dinnertime.

“While these are unprecedented times, our guests still want to treat themselves to a special meal, whether they are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or even a Saturday night dinner socially distanced with some friends,” said Dan Portnoy, chief merchandising officer for The Fresh Market. “That is why we are launching The Fresh Market’s Ultimate Dinner Meals, which rival the quality of any fine dining restaurant meal. We are kicking it off this week with the Ultimate Steakhouse Dinner Meal featuring our prime grade steaks, premium appetizers and sides, as well as one of our signature desserts, a gourmet fresh fruit tart.”

Guests can order the meals two ways:

• Curbside Pickup: Scan QR code with a smartphone camera or visit shop.TheFreshMarket.com to have your meal ready in as little as two hours.
• In-Store Pickup: Preorder at TheFreshMarket.com by 2 p.m. to have your meal ready next day.

For those looking for other convenient meal options to get a fresh and delicious dinner on the table or to just simply add some variety to their weekly routine, here are some of The Fresh Market’s other meal offerings:

Little Big Meal
Easily feed a family of four for $25 or less with these ready-to-cook weekly meals that include an entrée and sides. On the menu for the remaining two weeks in August:

• Fajitas: Choose between chicken or steak, add your favorite sauce and a freshly prepped veggie kit for a delicious dinner in 30 such minutes.
• Fish and Chips: Includes Parmesan Cod and French fries plus two more sides and pie for dessert.

Market Meal Kits
The Fresh Market’s Market Meal Kits are all-in-one meal solutions for two people that are ready in 20 minutes or less using one skillet for easy clean-up. Each kit features premium, pre-measured, prepped fresh in-store ingredients such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts, succulent shrimp, sirloin beef steaks, Atlantic salmon fillets and fresh veggies.

Value and Holiday Meals
To supplement The Fresh Market’s increasingly popular holiday meal offerings, the specialty grocer recently also introduced seasonal, value meals for those looking for a high-quality offering that serves more. This month, guests can enjoy a ready-to-cook Seafood Boil that feeds eight for just $7.50/person (total cost is $59.99, a $25 savings compared to buying each item individually).
