Luke’s Local Mealbox

Luke's mantra is: It's all about helping busy people eat well. Let's face it, in a perfect world, dinner would be pre-planned and pre-prepped, and cooking and eating it would cure the day's stress, not cause it! The Mealbox is a sort of hybrid mashup between a CSA (community supported agriculture) program, personal catering, and an artisan food shop. The website is easy to use and has a handy sidebar menu so you can easily select your dietary preferences: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, Vegan, even a category for certified organic as well as Sugar Free. All Luke's meals are prepared by local chefs, all the produce comes from local farms, and the artisan items are all locally sourced (like bread or granola for snacking!). The best part? You get to choose which items go in that box for every order: pick both farmers’ market produce and enough pre-prepped meals made by local underground chefs to last your family a week.

Cost: Prepared foods range from $5 (breakfast burrito) to $75 (family meal bundle). Delivery available in San Francisco, East Bay, and South Bay for $3.99; orders over $50 receive free delivery.
