Dream Dinners makes meal planning and preparation easier for America’s families.
At Dream Dinners, our mission is to grow great kids by promoting the family dinner. To strengthen American families by bringing the homemade meal back to the dinner table. We are homemade, made easy.
We are a National Franchise helping bring families together over easy, homemade dinners. Forty years ago, a young person typically would learn to cook by observing and assisting their parent in the kitchen. In that era, 80 percent of women could open their pantry and cook without a recipe. In just one generation, this life-skill has fallen dramatically, now only 20 percent of women can cook from scratch.
For those limited on time or skill, we are their helping hand in the kitchen.
KnowFat! aims to pioneer the phrase "lifestyle grille". A lifestyle grille is a place where you can come in, eat at a restaurant, and then buy products for the rest of your healthy lifestyle. We are squarely on-trend and poised to become the leader in the new healthy fast-casual category. KnowFat! concentrates on mainstream food by offering up better-for-you menu items like chicken meatball wraps, honey mustard turkey tips, super lean cheeseburgers with low-fat cheese, and sides like colorful broccoli and our proprietary "AirFries". Our customers don't just want to eat well while they're in the restaurant; they want to buy products that support an overall healthy lifestyle. Each KnowFat! combines a quick-serve restaurant with a convenience-style retail store that carries the best health-oriented nutrition products on the market. There is nothing like this concept on the market today. KnowFat! Lifestyle Grille is the only concept of its kind- and we're ready to roll.
