Like most millennials, my parents neglected to teach me how to feed myself, so I’ve been living off of frozen dinners and Annie’s Mac & Cheese through most of my adulthood. But after being forced indoors due to the pandemic, I knew I needed to expand my culinary horizons past “heat oven to 425”.
That’s why I signed up for HelloFresh and man did it change my outlook on home cooking. Restaurant quality food I can make myself? Count me in! Just one problem: I can’t cook to save my life. Yes, I know each of the meals comes with explicit, detailed instructions, but for those of us who’ve never owned a measuring cup or purchased a shallot (it’s like an onion apparently?), I may as well be throwing $50 a week into the trash.
I can’t call my mom to cook the meal for me because that would defeat the purpose of trying to fend for myself. However, there’s nothing in the adulting rule book that says I can’t pay someone else to cook it for me. That’s when it hit me: a chef plan for our meal plans.
LineChef is a new subscription service that will revolutionize the way you cook meals in that you’ll only have to worry about the eating part. Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll ship to your home a slightly more responsible adult than you who can follow simple directions.
2. Sit back and relax while your chef makes all the magic happen.
3. Eat and enjoy!
4. Once you’re through for the week, you can conveniently drop your chef off at the nearest airport or bus station. It’s that simple!
We’re looking for $45,000 in seed money to help coordinate and source only the most competent of home cooks.

Previous tiers and your chef will stick around and eat with you after they’re finished cooking. You'll get the restaurant experience AND your chef will sit with you like you’re an important food critic!
For those who want to experience sloppy joes and turkey burgers in style, we’ll send an actual celebrity chef to the Master Chef contributors for a whole month! Think of how jealous your friends and family will be when Anton Brown or Ina Garten is in your galley kitchen cooking your meatloaf.
