My very cool cousin Becky is a personal chef for a doctor in Canada (she used to work for a company called Sliced Tomatoes and you can watch her create Orange BC Wild Salmon with Cranberry Compote in this YouTube video). I don’t know all of the specifics, but she essentially preps and prepares all of the meals for he and his family. It must be nice for that doc and his brood – not having to worry about grocery shopping, meal-prepping, or clean-up.
Although I have to say that I actually kind of enjoy cooking, every once in awhile it would be nice if I had a personal chef to call upon or if dinner was delivered to my door – and not by Papa Johns (although pizza’s good too, don’t get me wrong).
This past weekend, that happened. A Parisian four course dinner for two from GourmetStation was delivered to our door complete with french baguettes, two soups, Chicken Montrachet and Lamb Shank (the main entrees), and Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake.
GourmetStation specializes in gourmet food gifts – dinner gifts, occasion dinners, dessert gifts, even a wine shop. The meals are “chef inspired” and delivered nationwide.
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate an anniversary or a birthday – or if you’re planning a simple night of romance – and you don’t want to fuss with menu planning, check out GourmetStation.
Notes from me – If you win or if you decide to buy a meal, you can choose between Americana, Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun, and Fusion. We tried the first three menus and Americana reigned supreme. Oh, and I would go with the 3-course dinner instead of the 4-course option because the soups are kind of blah. The entrees and desserts are the best part. Just my “two cents.”
WIN IT! One winner will receive a gift certificate for a gourmet three-course dinner for two from GourmetStation (valued at $69.99). To enter, simply leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, May 4 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Monday, May 5. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #2 workout mommy. Congratulations!
Hello, I didn’t even know this wonderful service existed. Thanks for the tip! Sounds much better than
ordering pizza all of the time. Please enter me in your drawing. I really appreciate it…..Cindi
this sounds awesome! I am cooking-challenged, so we all could appreciate someone else doing the cooking for us. Thanks!
Oh how nice it would be to make date night me not cooking AND not spending money eating out/ordering in! Another great give-a-way!
Oh that would be awesome! I love trying new foods, and I really, I mean *Really* miss those meals that my dear friends and family delivered after I gave birth. Itd be fun to share a romantic date on our back porch – and it wouldn’t be spagheti! :) I know its a terrible thing to do, But I’m holding my breath and hoping its me!! Thanks!
I would love to have a delicious, gourmet meal delivered right to my front door. What a great idea:) Thank you for the chance to win(my fingers are crossed)
I would love to have a gourmet delivered right to my door. A great way to have a date night a home. Maybe I could feed the girls first, put on a disney movie, light some candle and pretend we are at some fancy resturant. I wonder how long before the girls came to see why we were eating “in the dark.”
Salivating already! Just the thought of being off the hook for cooking and dishes gets me really excited.
Thanks for the contest.
Ooh, la la! What a way to treat a mama right. This would be fabulous! How nice to have a gourmet dinner and not have to wash the dishes (save for plates). I’d love to win! Thanks for the chance.
Getting a personal chef is at the top of my dream list…even before a housecleaner. I’d love to win this so at least I can get a sneak preview of how wonderful a good meal delivered to my door would be!!
Sounds devine!
And I’d love a night off from cooking and cleaning up by winning this contest!
wow- delivered dinner- this is the best prize ever!
Ohh what a neat idea! And ohh how we would love it! Thanks!
I’d truly love to win this, it would give me a night off from cooking.
This is a great idea! I can’t spend Mother’s Day with my mom to take her to brunch but now I can send brunch to her… thanks for sharing this website!
Great contest – enter me please !
What a luxury!
Please enter me , this is great
What an incredible treat this would be. Enter me please.
I’d love to have a date night at home with my husband after the kids are in bed!
What a great idea! Thanks!
This is like Simon Delivers, only way way way better, because I don’t have to think about what to do with those chicken legs… This would be such a fun treat!
I don’t know if they’ll deliver to me, as rural as I am but I hope so!!
Wow! I would love to try this.
Sounds so yummy!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
fluegas5(at)gmail(dot)com
Now that’s what I call a Happy Mother’s Day!!
I want to win!
Truthfully … I would even love pizza. However this sounds much more romantic!
Can’t wait to try it!
sounds like great food..would love to win.
Wow. Really, wow! I like to think some of my meals turn out gourmet, but you lost me at the 3-course part… If sides count as a course though, then I’m back in the game! How fun to have someone else make a healthy, tasty meal for you. Thanks for the chance to win this.
Oooooo nice! I would love to win something like this. ^^ Thanks!
I’d love to have a prepared Chef dinner!
Oh wow, a gourmet dinner that I don’t have to cook? This sounds like heaven!!!
oh to have someone else cook for once . . .
Love it!
I would love this, I haven’t enjoyed a meal like this in a very long time and to have it delivered right to your door instead of worrying if the children will behave during a nice dinner would be the best thing!
Oh! How nice to imagine someone fixing ME dinner for a change.
Sounds yummy :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
This would be such a wonderful “Vacation” even if its only for one meal!! Thank you so much for the conteset!
can’t wait to win
Could use this. Fingers crossed!
Free food is always welcome here!
sounds great
I would love to take a break from cooking for a night.
I would love to get this for my mom!
I would love this for my husband and I! We rarely get a good meal with the kids running around. This sounds divine.
I need to win this!I am TIRED and could use a break from cooking!
I would like to try them out. Please enter me
Wow! What options. I would be really fun to have a gourmet meal without all the prep and clean up. Um, that would suppose that I actually cook gourmet meals that I have to prep and clean up. I was drooling over the Rueben and crab cakes although I don’t think I could get that since dh doesn’t like ruebens :(.
How wonderful it would be to a gourmet meal delivered.
metropolitanmama&GourmetStation rocks!
themonkinme[at]gmail[dot]com
What Mom doesn’t need this to win this giveaway! I think we all could use a night off from cooking. By the way, I’ve been secretly waiting for this giveaway since you first mentioned GourmetStation a while back.
Ooh, honey! I’m having a hard time deciding between the Cajun and Fusion dinners. Mmmm mmm! Thanks for the offer!
We could use a decent meal.
I could really use a break from cooking one night. What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for offering this.
wow, this looks awesome.
this sounds awesome! I am cooking-challenged, so we all could appreciate someone else doing the cooking for us. Thanks!
Awesome gift. A good meal at last.
please add my entry
Oh…my…goodness! Date night without having to find a babysitter for sleeping baby! We struggle with the dinner/getting baby ready for bedtime routine thing…by the time that’s done, we just want to veg and watch stuff on Netflix.
I remember the last time we tried to have a nice dinner for 2(really 3). And, it was more of a juggle between my fork and Calvin grabbing my hair/napkin/plate.
If I could have a gourmet dinner at home and have it delivered…now THAT would be one of the best gifts EVER for mother’s day.
ooh what a great prize – for oneself or as a gift!!
It sounds delicious. It would be so nice to take a night or two off from cooking and enjoy a fantastic meal without going out to eat!
This is a wonderful prize!
PLEASE!!!
Goodbye, Hamburger Helper!
This would be fabulous!
love to win this
I’m embarrassed to say that I’m a terrible cook. Many times when I attempt it, my husband walks in the door from work only to have to rescue dinner (because he’s the REAL cook in this family!). Anyway, our 8-year anniversary is coming up and I really don’t want him to feel like he has to whip up something. And since good babysitters are hard to come by around the fourth of July, I know we’ll be staying in rather than going out for the night. So this meal delivery service sounds like a real treat!
Wow! This is a great giveaway. Who wouldn’t want a night off from cooking.
my wife would love this
Pinch me!! I must be dreaming!! I would love this prize!
What a brilliant idea! I’d for sure love to do this with my husband sometime. I really love it though, as a gift for those hard to give to! My father and his wife have the things they want and don’t expect a thing from us. Makes it difficult to do something special for them sometimes! This would be perfect for them — or anyone you want to wish a “happy anniversary” — or even to give some couple time back to a mom and dad celebrating a new baby (well, after the first few sleepless, hectic weeks of adjustment! A terrific idea. Thanks for sharing too your preferences on the cuisines, courses, etc. –Always makes you feel better going in having heard it from someone who has tried it! I am curious to check out their wine shoppe too. I’m not a wine drinker but have friends/family who are and would like to see if they suggest certain wines with certain menus, etc. Thank you for the contest/giveaway!
Oh, I would love to try this! I have my cousin coming to spend 2 weeks with me, and I haven’t seen her for 30 years – what a great treat this would be to share with her. Pick me!!!
Wow – this would be amazing. I’ve always wanted to try GourmetStation. I’ve heard some great things from my friends.
Isn’t this a woman’s dream? Eating in, and not having to cook. LOL This is awesome.
Good deal!
Nic to have
MINE
My boyfriend and I both work late and we are so tired when we get home that this is such a great idea. I get tired of fast food and having gourmet food deliverd to your door is great. I reviewed the menus and the choices are so varied that they can please everyone. I can not wait to try the mushroom soup.
I want to give my mom a nice dinner treat. This would be a great prize to win so I can do something nice for her.
Cheers to you for offering this!!
Kathy
Wow — this sounds fantastic! I’m not much of a cook (though I’m trying) and would love to actually treat my hubby and myself to a gourmet meal! I love French food, but I’d take your advice and order the Americana!
So amazing! The idea of not cooking for a few nights is amazing too! Please enter me
This would be a wonderful win!!
What can I say, being able to eat gormet food without having to dress up and go out! And noone has to make a mess in the kitchen! WOW!
I have got to tell my husband about this!
I would love to try the macadamia nut mahi mahi
please enter me
I hadn’t read your blog in a few days so I went backwards and I should have started here! I don’t actually have to cook! Yeah! I’m off the hook! Tel hubby please! : )
My wife makes the best pizza.
Thanks
My daughter has an upcoming birthday, and I know she would love this gourmet dinner package. It would be an unexpected gift. Plus, the food sounds (or should I say “smells”) delicious. Thanks!
Wow, this is such a fantastic and unique gift. Not having to cook for a night would be a gift by itself. I’d love to have a nice romantic dinner at home with my wife. Thanks for this great giveaway.
This is one of the best gifts I’ve ever seen. GourmetStation offers so many different meal options and everythings looks delicious. I would love to have a gourmet meal delivered to the house, prepared by someone else. Thanks so much for this giveaway!
yummy what a great prize, count me in please
I’d love to share this with my wife!!
Thanks.
one less meal to cook…yeah
wow, what a nice break this would be.
Creme Brulee Cheesecake sounds heavenly and $69 for a 3 course dinner for 2 sounds very reasonable. I sure would like a free try. Thanks!
sounds delicious
This would make a great romantic night for me and my sweetie.
This would be awesome. Sounds absolutely delectable!
WOW! Sounds great and I bet delicious!
YUMMY!
What a great idea – I want to check it out!
Thanks for letting us know about this delicious sounding service! It’s great to be pampered every once in a while – I’m going to have to check this out.
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
Now this sounds great!! With 3 kids my husband and myself don’t go out often. This is close to having a romantic dinner but then in my own house. The only thing I need to do is set the table, open some wine, light some candles… Oh please count me in!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
How fun to have a gourmet meal at home with your special someone and not have to cook it!
Sounds good.
My mouth is watering. Maybe I should send an email to my boys.
Oooh, free nice dinner in my home after the kiddos are in bed? Who wouldn’t want to try that?? How ’bout a personal chef, too? And a maid. And a nanny just occasionally, and…
This would be so perfect for our 5 year anniversary which is coming up in June. I’d like find time to cook a gourmet meal for us but I just don’t see that happening!
neat idea
I am really thinking about that Mothers Day Certifcate for my own Mom. Its a 3 course dinner with free shipping and free gifts. Plus it has no expiration date so she could use it whenever she liked.
Thanks for the heads up, I had never heard of this place before.
this would be so great
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this awesome prize! I’d love to win this!! Big HUGz! Jules
The Tuscan 4 Course Dinner has me drooling and I think i would put that cranberry compote on just about anything!
This is great.Eating food that is inspired by a chef,someone else to pay for it,wow,sounds too good to be true.
I would LOVE to win this. Our fourteenth anniversary is coming up in the next few weeks and we have four little ones and no babysitters so I’m trying to decide how to celebrate at home!
What a great concept…my ‘welcome’ mat is out!
Please enter me
What a great way to spend a date night! We’d love to try this out.
It really looks delicious!
Even I could fix dinner this way!
i want to win
Love to have this prize.

What a great service. I’ve looked into the “make a meal” places, but they don’t offer babysitting, so it’s not that convenient. To just have food show up…that’s what I need!
I’m hungry already
Please pick me!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to have a gourmet delivered right to my door!!!
This sounds wonderful! Thanks for the opportunity!
I would LOVE to win this!!!
Sounds like it would be great.
I can’t help but wonder how long it would take us to get through 3 courses with interruptions…or if we’d have to do a late-night meal with the kids in bed. Either way – sounds like the perfect date night right at home! Thanks! beezerly (at) yahoo (dot) com
Not having to cook, not having to go anywhere, and eating gourmet food? Wow. Wish I could afford my own personal chef! :) thanks for a chance at one meal, anyway!
i would like to win this
Since I cook (from scratch) 7 nights a week, this would be such a pleasure for us. The menus look delicious…I wouldn’t know what to choose!
Lovely giveaway!
i would love to win this for my mom.
I have never heard of this service but would love to try it out on a night I didn’t feel like cooking.
I love to cook and do it regularly from scratch, but sometimes I need a little break!
Thanks :)
Wow!!
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to try the Americana!
This would be perfect for after our first baby is born in June! I am going to try and make some meals ahead of time and put them in the freezer, but this sounds delicious and would definitely be a treat for us! Thanks.
Becuase i don’t cook, this would be perfect! To give my fiance a day off! Thanks for a great offer!
Wow! Wouldn’t this be a great suprise for my husband. A yummy meal that neither one of us has to cook. Hope I win.
OMG. My husband always says I eat cr*p. I would love to surprise him with a yummy healthy dinner.
Yum
Wow. This would be absolutely luxurious!
This would be perfect to have since I am pregnant and it would be nice to have a night off once the baby is here. Thanks!
What a great Mother’s Day treat this would be. A gourmet dinner for two and I don’t have to make it! Great giveaway!!!
This sounds wonderful! Anniversary gift for me, too! cookiecutter72 AT dot com
Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
Count me in!
This sounds like a vacation. Please enter me, thank you
This would be a great win for me and my husband.
Gourmet dinner? FOR ME? Oh, yeah! :)
Would so love to win this ~with our busy schedules, nothing would be a weeknight of gourmet food that I didn’t have to cook(not that it would be gourmet if i cooked it;) )
OOO I’d love to try the Cajun one!!
I blogged your contest to Prize-A-Tron!
http://www.prizeatron.com
YUM YUM…count me in. ;-) Thanks.
My husband has a birthday coming up – and they have Cheesecake too. Our favorite dessert
Since we never seem able to break away for date night, this would be a great way to bring date night to us! Thanks for the chance to win…
This would be really cool to have and really special
My birthday was April 14th and we didn’t get to celebrate it because my 4 y.o. son fell and broke his arm 2 days before it. I really wasn’t up for any big deal to be made about it at the time. But now that a few weeks have passed, and my son Hudson is back to his normal self, broken arm and all, I would love a nice gourmet meal in front of the fireplace once the kids are asleep :-)
Thank you for another great giveaway!
Hi there. Sounds delicious.
Oh, my gosh. What a prize. It’s making me hungry for good food! I would love to win this in time for my mom’s birthday. What a great surprise!
Sounds like an ideal solution for the “at-home-date-night”.
Wow – my mouth is already watering. I really want it. I want it now.
I would love to win a gourmet meal cooked by someone else! Some of those things sound wonderful.
please count me in
to have someone else cook for once yeah
As a single mom I don’t really need a double meal but I guess I could eat twice. Yippee. Sounds like a wonderful idea for a romantic night at home with a lot less work. Or in my case a really good meal twice with very little work.LOL. Thank you so much.
Great idea – no cooking, just eating!
I like fine food, but really don’t like the hassle of eat out. So a gourmet meal delivered to my front door sounds like heaven!
I would love to try this
Teriffic
Yum! This sounds great! It would be a fun little culinary adventure for my fiance’ and I.
So fun! Great prize!
I am so sick of cooking, this would be really cool for a break.
Yum! Any reason not to cook is A-OK in my book! :)
I would love this!
Working full time with a toddler, who has time to cook anymore!
Cool
A comment….I wouldn’t know what to do…except eat of course. LOL Honestly have never tried or even thought about delivered gourmet meals. It’s a foreign concept to me. But winning it would be a wonderful eating experience. A little spark to cheer up this winter weather-weary family….perhaps.
enter me
looks delicious pick me!
Great contest – enter me please !
No cooking, fast food, take out or having to go to a restaurant- even if the food was blah I’d want in. (Who doesn’t, right?) Sounds like a really great contest, count me in please.
Cajun sounds good to me
What a great idea!!! I have heard about these delivery services but could never bring myself to indulge. My husband and I love good food and Fusion is one of my favorites– a little bit of everything!!
Thank you for the chance to win!!! :)
Looks delicious and how great it would be to not have to cook for a night! Thanks for the giveaway.
sounds so good
What a great idea!
good food, and don’t have to cook it – priceless!
Wow…this is one of the best things I have ever heard of! I would love to win it.
this sounds sooo great, thanks for the giveaway!
I’d like to taste-test the product as I send food gifts for Christmas presents.
Got a wedding coming up this summer. This would be special as our first meal as husband and wife!
I would love to have dinner delivered to my door.
Sounds tasty! Thanks.
This looks wonderful & I’m bookmarking their website!!
Thank you for sponsoring the contest!
Would love to have someone to cook for me for a change!
What a wonderful way to be pampered especially since Mother’s Day is coming up!
I would absolutely love this because I hate cooking!!!
What a great idea!
Almost everyday on the way home from work I beat myself up for not taking something out of the freezer to prepare for dinner! I scramble to pick up the kids, get homework done, hopefully throw a load of laundry in, all the while wracking my brains coming up with what I can make with the ingredients I have on hand. I usually pull though – only occassionally having to resort to hotdogs and mac & cheese! What a thrill to have – even for only a day – a gourmet meal DELIVERED to my door!
This is really unique… if more people knew about this, the pizza guys may be in trouble!
Those sound awesome – I wouldn’t be able to decide if I won!
What a wonderful service! It’s rare that I get to eat GOOD food. You know that doesn’t happen when I’m the cook…lol
WOW! This would be great for Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or our anniversary.
It would be so nice for someone else to do the cooking but not just the cooking…. a meal that’s luxurious and pampering! That’s a sweet treat.
What a treat this would be!
Gosh can you say mothe’s day? I think this would be awsome. I know someone who deserves it.
What a great service! Perfect for when we don’t feel like going out but don’t quite want to cook!
This would be a fantastic opportunity. Thank you for offering this.
I am going to try and pass it off as my homemade food, so my husband thinks I suddenly learned to cook! great contest
Sounds great
i’m hungry now!
Sounds good
Would love to win this for my husband. He works soooo hard for me. Being disabled is hard for me to watch him cook, even if he is terrific. Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds delicious!
This sounds great! A chance to eat something good without the work and the hassle of dressing up, making reservations, finding a babysitter and of course the huge tab at the end!
sounds yummy
Prepared dinner delivered to my door? Who wouldn’t want this fabulous prize!

This would be great. A single mom of six kids, (Thankfully two of them eat very little if any adult food), I need all the extra ZANG I can get at dinner. I’d love to sit down with my kids and pick out a meal. Or even get together with my best friend and her fiancee, and get a meal with them OR, just give the meal to them for a night of relaxation.
