Dear Let’s Dish!:

I am writing to say thank you! I am a UVA alumnus, class of 1991 and a member of the Chi Psi fraternity. One of the main reasons our fraternity was so successful was because of the contributions of a single man: Billy Hearns. Since the 1940s, Billy gave of himself unselfishly to the fraternity as both a brother and caretaker. Unfortunately, 2008 was a bad year for Billy. First, the fraternity closed because it was no longer sustainable after Billy’s retirement. Then, Billy’s wife passed away.

Billy is 82 years old and generations of UVA Chi Psi brothers wanted to take care of him through this difficult period. Over the years, we have all scattered across the country and many of us can’t get back to help Billy in person. Fortunately, we found Let’s Dish!. We have set up an ongoing calendar on Google and we “sign-up” to take turns sending dishes to Billy. No matter where we live, brothers from around the country can easily log on to your site to help him. About once every two weeks, Billy receives eight half-sized meals and sometimes sides and desserts from one of the brothers. Billy says he really enjoys the variety and since he hasn’t done much cooking in the past fifty years, he enjoys the simplicity, too. We can’t be with him, but we can take care of him, just as he did for us.

Thank you!

Dave Abel

Dear UVA Chi Psi brothers,

It is truly a privilege to be a part of your group effort to take care of Billy. He must be a great guy!

That’s why we were delighted to read the latest installment of Dining in DC, a top-notch blog written Examiner.com’s restaurant critic Lisa Shapiro.  She calls our hosts “gracious”, the process “so easy” and  our portion sizes “perfect.” Regular dishers won’t be surprised that Lisa, a first-timer, quickly concludes that “Not only is Let’s Dish! great for cutting down the time that it takes to put dinner on the table, but it also helps cut down on your monthly grocery bill. It’s win-win for everyone! It’s fast, healthy and inexpensive.”

Just wait until she tries the food… Lisa invites readers to “stay tuned as I update the dishes that we’ve tried and my family’s reactions.”  We’re looking forward to more rave reviews!

W.T.E.B. demonstrates superb taste with their astute review of our Garlic Herb Salmon:
“It was heavenly, the flavored butter just marinated itself all over the salmon, and came out perfect. Rich, flavorful, and flaky, just how good salmon should be.”

Here’s what they had to say about Let’s Dish! overall:
“I would think, that this would be a great place for a family that doesn’t have a lot of time to go grocery shopping and create a home cooked meal. Or for someone who wants to learn how to cook. This also seems like a great place to take the kids, and get them involved. I think the earlier they learn to cook, the better they get with practice and years. Just think, start teaching your children (boys & girls) to cook when their younger, and when they hit those teenage years, they can make you dinner. Now how nice would that be?”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
