I have allergies like nut or sesame. How do I know if a dish contains those ingredients?
Every product has allergies listed once you click the photo of the item. ie: Milk, Nut, Wheat…
When is the ordering cutoff each week?
Wednesday at MIDNIGHT! Be sure to get your order in each week by that time for Sunday delivery! Most of our clients order between Monday and Wed each week. Chef B adds new feature items of the week on the What’s New page every Sunday late afternoon.
How do I Reheat my Entrees?
All of our individual portions (lunch and dinner sizes) come in microwavable (and dishwasher safe) dishes. These dishes are NOT oven safe. We recommend that straight from the fridge you microwave for 1.5 minutes (every microwave heats a little different). Check temperature and heat 30 seconds at a time from there. Gently moving the food around, checking for warmth and steam. Most meals can be perfectly heated within 1.5-2 minutes.
Family Portions come in silver oven safe pans. A general rule is to take the dish out of the fridge an hour two prior to cooking to get the deep chill out. Put in the oven after pre-heated to 350 with the lid cracked for 15-20 mins or 20-30 for more denser meals like Shepard’s Pie. Meals that have cheese on top like Chicken Parm, we suggest taking the lid off:)
If you have the time and are in to making sure all the original textures of the meal ( meaning if you want to re-crisp potatoes or the edges on meatloaf etc.) are recreated, you may want to transfer the dish onto a cooking sheet and bake at 350 deg for 8-15 minutes.
Denser items (Braised and Roasts such as Ropa Vieja, Short Ribs and Meatloaf) will take longer to warm through, and Lesser Dense items (i.e. Sliced Chicken Strips, Sliced Steak, Scallops) will not need much time at all.

Where do I put special delivery instructions like gate codes or where to leave the bags?
We LOVE specific instructions! Please put them in the delivery notes section at checkout when you order. The more you can help us make a smooth quick delivery the better! Other clients like you are waiting on their meals! Be sure to call us into your gate ahead of time as well. This is a HUGE help! Just tell them Melas By Chef B is coming. (If you need a specific drivers name feel free to text or call us for your delivery drivers name) 561-903-6222
Who actually delivers my food?
We do not contract our deliveries out to a third party company. Deliveries are done by our personally interviewed, screened, and employed team. Typically you will have the same delivery driver on your route so say hi and get to know them! They are all super friendly and part of our Chef B family! Most of them are customers too! 🙂
What do I do with my delivery bag and ice packs?
We ask you please leave them outside your door or give to our delivery driver the next time you order for delivery to swap out for your new bags. We sanitize and clean both the bag and ice packs and reuse! Please leave your bag tag on the bag as well. We currently do not charge a weekly bag fee and hope to keep it that way if our clients help us reuse bags!
** Note- With Covid-19 we now offer a disposable bag option when the driver arrives. Please accept this option if you are home for delivery.
